I-gel mask vs. standard tube: which is safer for short surgeries?
NCT ID NCT05782517
First seen Jan 19, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study compared two ways to help patients breathe during short gynecologic laparoscopic procedures: the I-gel laryngeal mask (a soft tube placed in the throat) and the standard endotracheal tube (a tube placed into the windpipe). Researchers measured air leaks, ease of placement, and side effects in 120 participants. The goal was to see if the I-gel mask is a safe and simpler alternative for surgeries lasting under two hours.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
I-gel laryngeal mask (supraglottic airway device) and endotracheal tube
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that the I-gel mask is a safer, easier alternative to standard intubation for short laparoscopic surgeries.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with 120 participants, so results may not apply to all patients or longer procedures. The comparison is about device performance, not a new treatment.
