Pregnant women are at increased risk of hypoxaemia during general anaesthesia.

Our aim was to determine the incidence and the risk factors that contribute to hypoxaemia in this setting.

Every woman 18 yr or older who underwent a non-elective Caesarean section under general anaesthesia was eligible to participate in this multicentre observational study.

The primary endpoint was the incidence of hypoxaemia defined as the SpO2 ≤95%. The secondary endpoint was the incidence of difficult intubation defined as more than two attempts or failed intubation.
