AIRWAY MANAGEMENT IN PREGNANCY
Rachel A. Achu, Sharon C. Reale
PDF20237 pages799 KB
Difficult airway management in the obstetric population is critically important due to the potential for significant maternal and fetal risks. The review discusses the incidence of difficult intubation in pregnant women and outlines risk factors such as obesity and abnormal airway anatomy. It emphasizes the importance of identifying at-risk patients and provides an obstetric-specific difficult airway algorithm to mitigate associated morbidity. The successful conversion of labor epidural analgesia into surgical anesthesia for cesarean delivery is also addressed as a key strategy to avoid general anesthesia.
