Resumen: 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.
