i-gel® supraglottic airway and the i-gel O2 Resus
In emergency medicine, you need equipment that’s easy, rapid and reliable to use. The i-gel® O2 Resus Pack contains everything you need to prepare, insert and secure the i-gel® O2 quickly and efficiently.

Insertion: The i-gel® O2 is incredibly easy to use. Insertion is rapid and can normally be achieved in less than 5 seconds. The simplicity of i-gel® O2 means the insertion technique is instinctive, reliable and does not require or benefit from the insertion of fingers or thumbs into the patient’s mouth.

Fixation: The i-gel® O2 Resus Pack includes a specially designed airway support strap for securing the i-gel® O2 in position. Fixation is easily achieved by sliding the strap under the patient’s neck and securing it in place to the hook ring on the collar of the i-gel® O2. This makes it ideal for use where adhesive tape may be unsuitable, such as on patients with facial hair.

Evidence: Featuring all known published evidence on the i-gel®, we offer bibliographies of clinical studies, case reports and correspondence on the performance of the i-gel device in anaesthesia, difficult airway management and resuscitation. Take a look https://www.intersurgical.com/info/igel-evidence or search for a paper in our online evidence database https://igelevidence.intersurgical.com/.

Guidelines: The i-gel® O2 has been designed to facilitate ventilation as part of standard resuscitation protocols, such as those designated by the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and the American Heart Association (AHA). However, the i-gel® O2 incorporates a supplementary oxygen port, so can also be used for the delivery of passive oxygenation, or Passive Airway Management (PAMTM), as part of an appropriate CardioCerebral Resuscitation (CCR) protocol.

Ordering information: The i-gel® O2 Resus Pack contains an i-gel® O2, a sachet of lubricant, airway support strap and suction tube, all packaged in a specially designed clear, sterile, rigid pack. This unique design ensures protection of the contents, both in transit and in storage. The i-gel® O2 has a colour coded hook ring to allow quick and easy identification of size. The i-gel® O2 Resus Pack is available in three adult sizes.
