Is the bougie redundant in direct laryngoscopic grade 3 intubations?

A 51-year-old woman presented for major elective colorectal surgery with predicted difficult intubation (Mallampati score 3, small mouth opening) and a video laryngoscope was prepared as a 'plan B'. After induction, the patient's lungs were easily ventilated with a bag valve mask. Direct laryngoscopy was performed that demonstrated a grade 3 view. An experienced operator intubated successfully using a bougie, which was carefully advanced in one attempt blindly behind the epiglottis into the trachea.
