Abstract
The difficult obstetric airway is a well-recognised anaesthetic challenge but little emphasis is placed on the difficulty of performing a safe tracheal extubation. We report the use of an airway exchange technique to extubate a difficult obstetric airway and discuss the role of these techniques in the obstetric population.
