The cage match you've all been waiting for! iGel vs King LT in cardiac arrest. Which is associated with higher survival?
Airways-2 was an RCT of iGel vs. ETI in OHCA and found no difference. PART was an RCT of King LT vs. ETI in OHCA and found a slight difference favoring King LT. How about those patients just getting an SGA? How does the iGel compare to King LT?
