Abstract
Airway management in the obstetric patient is a challenge for
anaesthesiologists, not only because of the anatomical and physiological changes
during pregnancy, but also because of the surgery´s urgency, the location of the
procedure, which sometimes takes place even outside the operation theatre, and also
due to conflicts emerging between the needs of the mother and fetus. The arising
maternal comorbidities such as obesity, contribute to complications in airway
management in this population.
