Comparison of effect of addition of 0.25mg/kg of succinylcholine to propofol or etomidate on the ease of i-gel insertion in patients under general anesthesia – a one-year hospital based randomized controlled study

Abstract

Effective airway management is critical in general anesthesia to prevent hypoxia and ensure patient safety. The I-Gel, a supraglottic airway device, is favoured for its ease of insertion and minimal invasiveness. This study aimed to compare the effects of adding 0.25 mg/kg of succinylcholine to propofol or etomidate on the ease of I-gel insertion in patients undergoing general anesthesia.
