Failed or difficult intubation during the puerperium - what does this mean

Failed or difficult intubation during the puerperium is caused by a variety of factors, including anatomical changes to the airway due to pregnancy, pre-existing conditions such as obesity, and the presence of a large baby. anesthesia providers must be prepared to anticipate and manage these challenges in order to ensure a safe and successful intubation.

What happens during the disease - failed or difficult intubation during the puerperium
