Aura-i is an everyday routine use supraglottic airway for ensuring ventilation in cases where an ET-tube is deemed unnecessary.
At the same time, it holds a place on the difficult airway cart. In case of a “”Cannot Intubate – Cannot mask Ventilate”” (CI-CV) situation, where the end-game is to intubate the patient, the Aura-i can be used as a conduit for direct endotracheal intubation, guided by a flexible scope (such as the Ambu aScope).
