Efficacy of I- gel™ for airway management of neonates with Pierre Robin sequence undergoing glossopexy: A prospective study.

This paper aims to review the utility of I- gel as a successful airway management device for infants with Pierre robin sequence (PRS) undergoing glossopexy. A prospective study was conducted on PRS neonates. The algorithm followed was putting a 'Tongue traction stitch' followed by the following sequence - two trials with direct laryngoscope intubation, two attempts with fiberoptic endoscope intubation followed by insertion of I-gel™ to manage difficult airway during glossopexy procedure.
