TAScope-guided rapid sequence intubation of a case of retrognathia with a history of failed intubation

A 72-year-old female with symptomatic cholelithiasis was posted for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. She had been previously posted for the same surgery at a different center, but the surgery was not performed due to failed intubation. On airway examination, reduced thyromental distance, prominent incisors, and retrognathia were observed. We planned and executed rapid sequence intubation under videolaryngoscope guidance using The Anaesthetist Society Scope, and the surgery proceeded uneventfully. At the end of the surgery, she was extubated over a bougie, observed, and shifted out without complications.
