Failed tracheal intubation in obstetric anaesthesia: 2 yr national case-control study in the UK.
BACKGROUND There are few national figures on the incidence of failed tracheal intubation during general anaesthesia in obstetrics. Recent small studies have quoted a rate of one in 250 general anaesthetics (GAs). The aim of this UK national study was to estimate this rate and identify factors that may be predictors. METHODS Using the UK Obstetric Surveillance System (UKOSS) of data collection...
متن کاملDifficult and failed intubation in 3430 obstetric general anaesthetics.
A retrospective audit was performed of all obstetric general anaesthetics in our hospital over an 8 year period to determine the incidence of difficult and failed intubation. Data was collected from a number of sources to ensure accuracy. A total of 3430 rapid sequence anaesthetics were given. None of the patients had a failed or oesophageal intubation (95% CI, 0-1:1143). There were 23 difficul...
متن کاملBritish Journal of Anaesthesia 1996;77:559–562 Failed tracheal intubation
Sir,—I read with interest the article by Hawthorne and colleagues detailing failed intubations over 17 yr in a teaching maternity unit1. One result reported was that in only one of seven failed intubations for Caesarean section for fetal distress was neonatal outcome poor. In that instance it was thought that antepartum factors rather than the delay in delivery may have been responsible. Good n...
متن کاملIncreased ventilation requirements during obstetric general anaesthesia.
The inspiratory fresh gas flow rate (FGF) required to produce an end-tidal carbon dioxide tension (PE'CO2) of 4 kPa during general anaesthesia, neuromuscular blockade and artificial ventilation, was compared in a group of 46 obstetric patients and a matched group of 50 non-pregnant female patients. The non-pregnant patients required a mean (SD) inspiratory FGF of 77 (10.6) ml kg-1 min-1, wherea...
متن کاملCrisis management during anaesthesia: difficult intubation.
BACKGROUND Anaesthetists may experience difficulty with intubation unexpectedly which may be associated with difficulty in ventilating the patient. If not well managed, there may be serious consequences for the patient. A simple structured approach to this problem was developed to assist the anaesthetist in this difficult situation. OBJECTIVES To examine the role of a specific sub-algorithm f...
