What is the weight range for the #5 iGel?

The correct weight range for the #5 iGel is specifically for patients who weigh 90 kg or more. This size of iGel is designed for the upper range of adult patients, ensuring proper fit and effective airway management. When selecting an iGel size in clinical practice, it is critical to match the device to the patient’s size to achieve optimal ventilation and minimize the risk of complications, such as air leakage or inadequate airway seal.

In contrast, other options represent weight ranges that do not correspond to the #5 iGel. Sizes below this would generally accommodate lighter patients, while sizes above would exceed the standard indications for using a #5. Ensuring the right fit is essential for effective ventilation and airway protection in emergency situations.
