Respected user, Warm welcome to Chat Doctor.come have evaluated your query thoroughly.* In a patient in path lab operated for 3 stents, may have sudden breathing problem from the cardiac event usually where there is severe compromise to the coronary circulation giving breathing difficulties.* Immediate unavailability of expert anesthetic on the spot is not acceptable on expert medical grounds.* Trials needed to intubate may happen in any high level set up due to many factors on the patient level itself. Hope this will help you for sure. Regards.
