Abstract

 Introduction: The risk of failed intubation in obstetrics has been estimated to be eight folds compared to the general surgical cases (i.e.,) an incidence of 1:250 in obstetric compared to 1:20,000 in general surgical cases.As there is an attempt to lower caesarean section rates and a higher percentage are performed using regional technique individual practitioners have less experience with general anesthesia in obstetrics. Methodology: 60 female patients were divided into two groups Group I consisted of 30 pregnant women posted for cesarean section under general anaesthesia. Group II consisted of 30 non pregnant women posted for General Surgeries under General anaesthesia. Results: Cormack and Lehaneslar-yngoscopic view grading in both in group, in group I, 24 out of the 30 patients had Grade A (80%) compared to 28 out of the 30 patients in group II (93.3%). Conclusion: Statistically significant changes were not seen in the Cormack and Lehanes grading of the laryngoscopic view.
