Summary

Supraglottic Airway devices(SGAs) like I-Gel and C-LMA ( classic laryngeal mask airway ) have been used as a conduit for tracheal intubation using ventilating bougie. General Anaesthesia with tracheal intubation is one of the technique for giving anaesthesia. Tracheal intubation may become difficult sometimes and endangers patients life. Using SGAs as a conduit for tracheal intubation helps in securing airway. This will be further facilitated by using ventilating bougie, as it maintains oxygenation.
