Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Ultrasound has shown to be very useful in airway assessment. In the non obstetric population, it has shown that depth of airway, particularly the depth of cricothyroid membrane can be predicted with formula using patient weight. This study will check if this applies in the obstetric population. This knowledge will help us in difficult airway management in obstetric patients in the future may be from next dayTimepoint: Ultrasound has shown to be very useful in airway assessment.
