Abstract

A reply. We can confirm that the i-gels used in the study were only lubricated on the tip and posterior surface as stated in the study and not also on the anterior surface as recommended by the manufacturer. However, we do not believe, had the recommended lubrication technique been used, that this would have caused a significant change in the main finding of the study, namely that some patients require a larger size of i-gel than indicated in the instructions for use to provide an adequate seal.
