- Brief Summary
Obesity is linked to many complications of respiratory care which are directly related to the obstructive apnea syndrome: difficult airway management including difficult mask ventilation, difficult intubation and obstruction of the upper airway.
I gel which is a non inflatablesupraglottic airway device with a gastric channel is gaining popularity in anesthesia practice because of its ease of insertion and stable positioning.
There are many studies evaluating I-gel for airway managment during different head and necks position ,in prone and lateral position showing both successeful results. Morover, it was evaluated during spontanous and mechanically ventilated patients.
There are limited number of studies evaluating the efficacy of I- gel in mild to moderate obese patients.
The primary aim of this study is to Measure the oropharyngeal airway leak pressure in both supine and lateral position and to determine laryngeal glottic view grade by the fibreoptic bronchoscope.
- Detailed Description
prospective observational cohort study. Induction of anethesisa will be started after pre-oxygenating the patient for 3min , with administerating Propofol (2mg/kg)(lean body weight)), Fentanyl (2μg/kg) and Atracurium (0.5mg/kg)(based on ideal body weight.The patient will to be ventilated by a 100% oxygen and 1.2% isoflurane with fresh gas flow 6L/min for 5 min.immediately after induction heart rate , blood pressure and oxygen saturation will be recorded.
A proper sized I-gel according to the patient's weight and manifacturer instructions (Intersurgical Ltd, UK) ( 4 or 5 adult sizeI-gel) will be lubricated with a water based lubricant from the front and back sides of the device, will be inserted after compelete muscle relaxation (Train of four = zero) In case of insertion problem various adjuvant manoeuvres will be used such as such as head flexion or extension, or slightly pulling or pushing the device. Any additional manoeuvres will be recorded. If insertion or ventilation fails three times in succession, Endotracheal tube will be immediately inserted and the patient will be excluded from the study. The number of excluded cases will be recorded The circut will be connected to the device,Capnograph will be attached and end tidal carbon dioxide will be recorded.
The ventilator parameters will be set with tidal volume (4-6 ml/kg) at a respiratory rate(12-15 breath/min) to maintain ETCO2 from 30-35 mmHg.
Anaethesia will be maintanied by a mixture of 50% oxygen and 50% medical air,Isoflurane 1.2% and Atracurium (0.01 mg/kg) will be given according to train of four . Analgesia of pethidine 100mg IV will be given as intraoperative analgesia.
In order to confirm proper positioning of the I-gel,a fiberoptic bronchoscope will be pass through the device and pushed forward up to1 cm proximal to it to obtain a glottic view.
Afterwards the same patient will be placed in the lateral decubitus position.Blood pressure,Heart rate ,Oxygen saturation and End tidal CO2 will be recorded immedialy. After confirming proper ventilation as before ,confirmation of I-gel position using fiberoptic bronchoscope will be done and recorded.The leak air way pressure test will be done as previously done in supine position and recorded.
The patient will be returned to supine position where a proper size Orogastric tube will be inserted.The surgery can be started and Heamodynamics and ventilation will be monitored.
By the end of the surgery the patient will be reversed from general anaesthesia by administrating Neostigmine (0.04mg/kg) and Atropine (0.01mg/kg). intravenously at (TOF=3) and the I-gel will be removed at the end.The presence of blood on the I-gel device, or the occurrence of any complications, will be recorded.
The patient will be transfered to the post operative care unit

Group Intervention Description study group I-gel supraglottic airway device after induction of general anesthesia, a proper size of Igel will be inserted after compelete muscle relaxation. In order to confirm proper positioning of the I-gel,a fiberoptic bronchoscope will be pass through the device and pushed forward up to1 cm proximal to it to obtain a glottic view, leak airway pressure test will be done. Afterwards the same patient will be placed in the lateral decubitus position ,confirmation of I-gel position using fiberoptic bronchoscope will be done and recorded.The leak air way pressure test will be done as previously done in supine position and recorded. The patient will be returned to supine position.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method comparison between supine and lateral Oropharyngeal leak airway pressure 1 minute Oropharyngeal leak airway pressure during controlled ventilation in supine position after insertion of I-gel by one minute and n lateral position after one minute from setting patient in lateral postion.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method fiberoptic view in lateral position 1 minute 4 points: only vocal cords can be seen, 3 points: vocal cords and posterior epiglottis can be seen, 2 points: vocal cords and anterior epiglottis can be seen, 1 Point: Vocal cords cannot be seen.
Swallowing 5 hours The presence of swallowing difficulties, are questioned preoperatively and 5H postoperatively.
Hoarseness 5 hours The presence of Hoarseness is questioned preoperatively and 5H postoperatively.
fiberoptic view in supine position 1 minute 4 points: only vocal cords can be seen, 3 points: vocal cords and posterior epiglottis can be seen, 2 points: vocal cords and anterior epiglottis can be seen, 1 Point: Vocal cords cannot be seen.
Nausea and vomiting 5 hours The presence of nausea and vomiting are questioned preoperatively and 5H postoperatively.
number of failed attempts of insertion 1 minutes I-gel insertion was facilitated by head flexion or extension, or slightly pulling or pushing the device in case of insertion problem. If insertion or ventilation fails three times in succession, Endotracheal tube would immediately inserted and the patient was excluded from the study. The number of excluded cases were recorded.
