Abstract
I-gel is a supraglottic airway device that has been used for emergency airway management. In this report, we present a case in which airway management is facilitated using I-gel. Scar revision was planned in a 12-year-old male patient with limited ability to extend the neck and restricted oral opening because of post-burn contracture. The patient was ventilated successfully achieved using the supraglottic I-gel method. This new airway device may appropriate in cases with asymmetric airways in which airway management is difficult.
