I-gel Laryngeal Mask Airway Combined with Tracheal Intubation Attenuate Systemic Stress Response in Patients Undergoing Posterior Fossa Surgery

<div>Changes in ETCO2, Ppeak, PaCO2, and PaO2 in patients with a tracheal tube intubation (Group TT) or an I-gel facilitated endotracheal tube intubation (Group TI) over a period of time. Results are expressed as Mean ± SD. No significant difference in ETCO2 and Ppeak over time. During emergence, PaCO2 and PaO2 were better in Group TI than those in Group TI, and the differences were significant. Baseline (T0); endotracheal tube intubation (T2); 3 min after intubation (T3); end of surgery but before awakening (Group TT) or before endotracheal tube removed (Group TI) (T4); and throughout emergence from anesthesia at 1 and 30 minutes after extubation or I-gel removal (according to group assignment) (T6, 9).</div>
