Frequency and Risk Factors for Difficult intubation in Women Undergoing General Anesthesia for Cesarean Delivery

Frequency and Risk Factors for Difficult intubation in Women Undergoing General Anesthesia for Cesarean Delivery

In this episode, Dr. Sharon Reale shares with us the results of her study titled Frequency and Risk Factors for Difficult Intubation in Women Undergoing General Anesthesia for Cesarean Delivery: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Analysis. As Dr. Reale pointed out during this Podcast, most of the available literature regarding the obstetric airway comes from data outside of the United States. Dr. Reale’s study strength resides in the use of a centralized extensive database, the Multicenter Perioperative Outcomes Group (MPOG).
