Cluster cross-over randomised trial of paediatric airway management devices in the simulation lab and operating room among paramedic students.

We found that paramedic students were able to place supraglottic devices rapidly with high success rates in simulation lab and operating room environments. Supraglottic devices, particularly the i-gel, were rated as easy to use. The i-gel may be easiest to use since it lacks an inflable cuff and requires fewer steps to place.
