"FAILED INTUBATION" IN OBSTETRIC ANAESTHESIA

An indication for use of the "Esophageal Gastric Tube Airway"

M.E. TUNSTALL and C. GEDDES

Aberdeen Maternity Hospital Cornhill Road, Aberdeen AB9 2ZA

The management of failure to intubate the trachea during emergency Caesarean section in a 116.7-kg woman is described. General anaesthesia was continued with the aid of a Gordon and Don Michael Esophageal Gastric Tube Airway. The forward displacement of the larynx caused by the tube in the oesophagus improved the patency of the airway.
