Rate of difficult intubation during caesarean delivery: A single centre before/after standardised airway management implementation study.

Background: The use of general anaesthesia (GA) for caesarean delivery (CD) introduces the risk of both difficult and failed intubation. Various strategies may be utilised to reduce this risk; however, not all are supported by evidence. We analysed the rate of difficult intubation following implementation of three recommendations specific to airway management in CD.
