Abstract
UNLABELLED: BACKGROUND Prenatal ultrasonography predicting airway obstruction can facilitate intrapartum management, revolutionising the approach to potential airway difficulties at birth. AIMS: This report presents the first case of this procedure attempted in Ireland. RESULT AND CONCLUSION: This case was unsuccessful in securing an airway, but the potential for intubation or tracheostomy with an intact maternal-foetal circulation provides encouragement for the management of future cases.
