Mastering Airway Management From Basic Adjuncts to i-gel is a practical, scenario-driven course designed for EMTs and prehospital providers who want faster, safer, and more confident airway control. Starting with rock-solid BLS fundamentals, you’ll review essential manual maneuvers and adjuncts (OPA/NPA) before progressing to the i-gel—today’s widely adopted second-generation supraglottic airway device. You’ll learn what the i-gel is made of, how its non-inflatable cuff creates a reliable perilaryngeal seal, and why many agencies prefer it for rapid insertion with minimal interruptions to compressions. The course connects anatomy and physiology to hands-on technique: from size selection and preparation to smooth insertion, verification, and ongoing monitoring with ETCO2. You’ll also build clinical judgment—knowing when to deploy the device, when not to, and how to troubleshoot leaks, resistance, or displacement in the field. Special modules address high-stakes contexts such as trauma (with c-spine precautions) and pediatrics (with weight-based sizing and anatomical nuances). By the end, you’ll be ready to integrate i-gel into your airway toolkit, reduce on-scene time, and improve patient outcomes during respiratory failure and cardiac arrest. If you’re ready to elevate your airway management from basic adjuncts to confident i-gel mastery, this course will get you there.

Mastering Airway Management From Basic Adjuncts to i-gel

            <p>Effective airway management remains a cornerstone of prehospital emergency care, requiring a seamless progression from basic manual maneuvers to the utilization of advanced adjuncts. As the scope of practice for Emergency Medical Technicians continues to evolve, the integration of second-generation supraglottic airway devices (SADs) has become a critical skill for improving patient outcomes in respiratory and cardiac arrest scenarios. This course provides a comprehensive framework for mastering the i-gel airway, beginning with a rigorous review of foundational BLS techniques, including Oropharyngeal (OPA) and Nasopharyngeal (NPA) airways. By establishing a firm understanding of upper airway anatomy and the physiological principles of ventilation, practitioners will be better equipped to transition from basic support to the rapid, cuffless seal provided by the i-gel’s medical-grade thermoplastic elastomer technology.</p>

<p>Beyond the mechanics of the device, this curriculum emphasizes the clinical judgment necessary for high-stakes decision-making. Participants will explore the specific indications and contraindications for i-gel deployment, alongside weight-based sizing protocols and definitive insertion techniques. The training further extends into advanced patient management, covering the interpretation of End-Tidal CO2 (ETCO2) waveforms to ensure continuous airway patency and perfusion monitoring. Special considerations for trauma-informed care and pediatric populations are also addressed to ensure a versatile skill set. Through this systematic approach, EMTs will refine their ability to troubleshoot common complications, such as air leaks or insertion resistance, ultimately enhancing their proficiency in delivering life-saving airway interventions in the field.</p>
