In emergency medicine, equipment needs to be easy and rapid to use.
The i-gel O2 Resus Pack contains everything required to prepare, insert and secure the i-gel O2 quickly and efficiently: an i-gel O2 supraglottic airway, a sachet of lubricant, airway support strap and a suction tube. Available from INTERSURGICAL, the i-gel O2 has been specially designed to facilitate ventilation as part of standard resuscitation protocols, such as those designated by the European Resuscitation Council (ERC). However, the i-gel O2 also incorporates a supplementary oxygen port for the delivery of passive oxygenation, or Passive Airway Management (PAM), as part of an appropriate Cardio Cerebral Resuscitation (CCR) protocol. A number of case reports and clinical studies have highlighted the potential advantages the standard i-gel device offers in the resuscitation scenario, where seconds can make all the difference. With its soft, non-inflatable cuff, valuable time is not wasted deflating and inflating a cuff. This allows a patient airway to be established in the quickest possible time. In many cases, insertion can be achieved in less than five seconds.
