T2  - Hung's Difficult and Failed Airway Management, 3e
AB  - Case:  A  60-year-old  female  with  carcinoma  of  the  colon  is  scheduled  for  laparoscopic  colon  resection.  She  has  hypertension,  obstructive  sleep  apnea  (OSA),  and  is  morbidly  obese  with  a  body  mass  index  (BMI)  of  41  kg·m−2.  She  provides  a  history  of  difficult  airway  management  at  another  institution  10  years  previously  at  cholecystectomy.  Records  are  not  available.  Examination  of  her  airway  reveals  mouth  opening  of  3  cm  (approximately  2  fingerbreadths),  full  dentition  with  prominent  upper  incisors,  and  a  receding  mandible.  Mandibular  mobility  is  poor  and  she  is  unable  to  bite  her  upper  lip  with  her  lower  incisors.  Her  neck  is  short  and  has  a  circumference  of  44  cm.  Her  cricothyroid  membrane  (CTM)  is  difficult  to  identify.  Her  neck  extension  is  unremarkable  and  she  has  a  Mallampati  score  of  IV.
