March JA, Tassey TE, Resurreccion NB, Portela RC, Taylor SE. Prehosp Emerg Care. 2018 May-Jun;22(3):385-389.

The aim of this study was to compare the performance of the I-Gel airway (IGA) to the King LT laryngotracheal airway (KA) in a simulated tactical scenario. The evaluation was carried out by assessing the time to successful tube placement on a manikin. Participants were also videomonitored to assess their height exposure above the protection barrier. Finally, participants were questioned on which device they preferred with results favouring i-gel.
