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.

Öz

Boyunda var olan yanık sonrası gelişmiş kontraktürler, hava yolu yönetiminde ciddi problemlere yol açabilmektedir. Bu olguda alev yanığı sonrasında ciddi boyun kontraktürüne bağlı gelişen ekstansiyon kısıtlılığı ve kısıtlı ağız açıklığı olan 12 yaşındaki erkek çocuk hastadaki zor hava yolu yönetimi sunulmuştur. Hastada no:2.5 i-gel supraglottic airway ile ventilasyon sağlandı. Bu yeni hava yolu aracı hava yolu yönetimi zor olan asimetrik hava yolu olan olgularda uygundur.
