Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Airway management in the obstetric patient is a challenge for anaesthesiologists, not only because of the anatomical and physiological changes during pregnancy, but also because of the surgery´s urgency, the location of the procedure, which sometimes takes place even outside the operation theatre, and also due to conflicts emerging between the needs of mother and foetus. The arising incidence in maternal comorbidities such as obesity, contributes to complications in airway management in this population.
