Videolaryngoscopy during Urgent Cesarean Delivery: Association with Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Admission

Parturients are at increased risk for difficult airway management with subsequent fetal complications. Videolaryngoscopy was opined to be the new standard of airway care to facilitate orotracheal intubation under urgent care conditions. We examined in parturients requiring general anesthesia for urgent cesarean delivery the association of the type of laryngoscopy technique and time required to facilitate orotracheal intubation with the incidence of subsequent neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission.
