Abstract

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The I-gel supraglottic airway has a non-inflatable cuff made from a gel-like thermoplastic elastomer. The use of the I-gel during anesthesia for spontaneously breathing patients or intermittent positive pressure ventilation has been reported. But there are a few published reports about the use of the I-gel with pressure-controlled ventilation. CONTENTS AND CONCLUSIONS: In this case report we described the use of the I-gel supraglottic airway along 48 h in intensive care unit for the management of ventilation in a patient needed mechanic ventilation but in whom tracheal intubation could not be performed.

Resumo

RESUMO JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: O dispositivo supraglótico I-gel para o manejo das vias aéreas tem um manguito não insuflável feito de um elastômero termoplástico semelhante ao gel. Há relato sobre o uso do I-gel em pacientes sob anestesia para a ventilação, espontânea ou com pressão positiva intermitente. Porém, há poucos relatos publicados sobre o uso do I-gel com ventilação controlada por pressão. CONTEÚDO E CONCLUSÕES: Descrevemos neste relato de caso o uso do dispositivo supraglótico I-gel durante 48 horas em unidade de terapia intensiva para o manejo das vias aéreas em paciente que precisou de ventilação mecânica, mas no qual a intubação traqueal não pôde ser feita.
