Paramedic i-gel <sup>®</sup> Placement and Perception of Use in Prehospital Airway Management
Paramedics were successful in 88% of i-gel<sup>®</sup> insertion attempts with the most common complication being regurgitation/emesis. Paramedics rated the ease of placement and ease of ventilation of the i-gel<sup>®</sup> device as "very easy" or "somewhat easy" in the vast majority of cases.
