Clinical evaluation of the v‐gel supraglottic airway device in comparison with a classical laryngeal mask and endotracheal intubation in cats during spontaneous and controlled mechanical ventilation

Conclusions and clinical relevanceThe v‐gel is a practical alternative to the LM and ETT for securing the airway after induction of anaesthesia and for CMV up to 16 cm H2O in healthy cats. The v‐gel can be inserted at a more superficial level of anaesthesia than the ETT and showed significantly less leakage during CMV than the ETT.
