Abstract

Following induction of general anaesthesia for emergency caesarean section the trachea could not be intubated, and ventilation was established only following two cricothyroidotomies. The baby was delivered unimpaired, and tracheostomy subsequently performed. On the intensive care unit, maternal cardiorespiratory variables were satisfactory, although surgical emphysema of the face and neck became apparent. Increasing abdominal distension was relieved by suction to a pelvic drain. Radiographs revealed bilateral pneumothoraces, pneumomediastinum and pneumoperitoneum, which were resolved by intrapleural drainage.
