You are called urgently to assist your obstetric anaesthetic fellow in theatre. She has just induced general anaesthesia for a 32-year old patient undergoing emergency Caesarean section for cord prolapse. The patient is currently 33 weeks gestation. Airway management was unexpectedly difficult and the best view your trainee could obtain was a 3B despite multiple attempts at laryngoscopy. An LMA has been placed and the patient is maintaining normal oxygen saturation but there is a leak from the LMA. The obstetrician wants to know if they can start the case.
