The laryngeal mask airway in children.

abstract：:We systematically reviewed randomised controlled trials of the i-gel® vs different types of laryngeal mask airway in children. We included nine studies. There was no evidence for differences in: rate of insertion at first attempt; insertion time; ease of insertion; or gastric tube insertion. The mean (95% CI) orophary...
