Abstract
The anatomy and physiology of pregnant women undergoes changes in most systems of the body, but some of the most significant changes are those that occur at the respiratory level, which make obstetric patients a potential difficult airway. This should be identified by a complete airway evaluation prior to manipulation, as it is done in non-pregnant patients. After this assessment, it is necessary to apply the algorithms that have been designed to orientate the management of ventilation and intubation in this type of patient, for example, the guidelines published by Obstetric Anaesthetists’ Association and Difficult Airway Society, always with the intention of preserving the maximum maternal and fetal welfare.
