See Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) B.4. How would you preoperatively optimize the ability to secure the airway in the operating room? B.9. What precautions should be taken for airway management? C.1. What factors would alter your anesthetic technique from that used for a nonpregnant patient? C.2. Can a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) be used? C.2. Describe techniques other than direct laryngoscopy that would be useful for securing the airway in this baby. C.2. The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Difficult Airway Algorithm provides a guideline for management of the difficult airway. How do the comorbidities in patients with MO and OSA modify implementation of the algorithm? C.2. The patient did not have an asthmatic attack in the operating room, and you proceed with induction of anesthesia. How would you induce anesthesia? Would you use a supraglottic airway device instead of an endotracheal tube? C.4. There are many new airway devices in the marketplace.
