96 children aged one month to six years were randomised into either i-gel or air-Q groups, with time to successful tracheal intubation the primary end point. Both served as effective conduit devices in this scenario.

LMA Classic, i-gel, PENTAX Airway Scope and Macintosh laryngoscope were all tested, with time to ventilation, intubation success rate and difficulty of intubation measured. Authors conclude that intubation with i-gel was faster and easier.

72 briefly-trained paramedics were allocated to intubate a manikin. Success rate was higher, and insertion time 'significantly' shorter for the i-gel group.

Twenty-one Foundation Year One Trainees were asked to attempt to ventilate a manikin with either an LMA or i-gel®, of their own choosing. Results showed 71% chose to use an LMA, although on reflection 95% preferred the i-gel®. Speed of insertion was faster with i-gel®. Study supports use of i-gel® on resus trolleys for use by non-airway trained doctors.
