It is important to research the present question as in contemporary practice many anesthesiologists, faced with a patient in whom they are anticipating difficult direct laryngoscopy proceed with putting the patient to sleep, relying on the video laryngoscope to enable them to intubate. With a patient now anesthetized and not breathing, if they then have trouble intubating the patient in spite of getting a view of the larynx, harm could occur to the patient from a failed intubation situation. Furthermore, there are now a number of studies documenting that patient morbidity can increase with multiple intubation attempts.
