Securing a patent airway remains a pivotal point in clinical anesthesia, while failure to establish airway in anesthetized patients can cause severe outcomes in a few minutes.[1] According to the closed claims analysis conducted by the American Society of Anesthesiologists, a leading cause of anesthesia‐related patient injury is the inability to intubate the trachea and secure the airway. As consequences, 85% of those are either death or brain damage.[2] In a review of litigation related to anesthesia in the National Health Service hospitals in the UK from 1995 to 2007, airway‐ and respiratory‐related events account for 12% of all anesthesia claims, 53% of deaths, and 27% of reparation, and are involved in ten out of the fifty most expensive claims.[3] In addition, about half of the incidents reported to the fourth National Audit Project of the Royal College of Anaesthetists and the Difficult Airway Society describe that airway complications are related to primary problems with tracheal intubation, including failed intubation, delayed intubation, and “cannot intubate cannot oxygenate” situation.[4] These facts have greatly facilitated the progress of clinical airway management and resulted in the development of new related strategies and techniques.[5] Furthermore, in numerous nations, practice guidelines have been developed to assist anesthesiologists for safe airway management in perioperative period.[6‐12] Due to those tremendous efforts, the incidence of serious complications related to airway management has been significantly decreased.[1]
