Brief Summary  

I gel is most widely used second generation supraglottic device. In pediatric day care surgery, I gel can be used safely and effectively in anesthetized children. Four sizes (1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5) of pediatric I gel is available. The manufacturer recommends the size of I gel to be used in children should be based on actual body weight but this method has several limitations. One important limitation is size of oropharyngeal cavity which is related to height and age rather than weight of child. All these factors may lead to inappropriate size selection, which may result in larger sized I gel causing trauma/injury to the airway and smaller size causing obstruction or insufficient ventilation.

To overcome these concerns, some alternatives have been tried by few researchers. One of them is association between thenar eminence and I gel dimension in paediatric patients.

Considering this we therefore would like to know whether the thenar eminence dimension based method can be used for I gel size selection in pediatric surgical patients.
