However, a recent study showed that the incidence of difficulties during intubation and subsequent complications have increased.2 In addition, research has suggested that airway difficulties occur eight times more frequently in obstetric patients than in the general population.3 In difficult intubation cases, guidelines have provided recommendations for the availability of advanced airway equipment, and neuraxial anesthesia has been encouraged.4 A recent publication argued that video laryngoscopy was superior to direct laryngoscopy for the intubation of obstetric patients with normal airways.5
