Comparison of LTS-D and i-gel in non-paralyzed pediatric patients under general anesthesia: a randomized trial
Both the LTS-D and i-gel are safe and effective for airway management in non-paralyzed children undergoing short procedures. The i-gel enables faster insertion and better anatomical positioning, while the LTS-D offers higher leak pressures, making it preferable when a better seal is needed. Device choice should be guided by clinical context and patient characteristics.
