title: The airway in the obstetrical patient.
abstract: Airway management of the parturient has serious implications for the anesthetist. Meticulous patient evaluation and preparation is essential. A management plan that can be implemented in the event of failed intubation should be familiar to all anesthetists who are involved in obstetrical anesthesia.
