- Abstract
The article describes the use of the videolaryngoscope, the Airway Scope (AWS), for intubation during caesarean section, done under regional anaesthesia, with patients suffering from massive intraoperative postpartum haemorrhage. Two pregnant women were intubated with minimal local anaesthesia so as to prevent cardiovascular compromise. It is believed that the AWS is useful for anaesthetic procedures in the parturient with haemo-dynamic instability due to massive haemorrhage.
