AB  - A  65-year-old  male  with  carcinoma  of  the  colon  presents  for  colon  resection.  He  weighs  120  kg  and  is  157  cm  tall  (BMI  48  kg·m−2).  He  has  a  history  of  hypertension  and  obstructive  sleep  apnea.  On  airway  examination,  he  has  a  Mallampati  IV  score;  3-cm  mouth  opening,  a  large  tongue,  full  dentition,  about  0.5  cm  of  mandibular  protrusion,  a  receding  mandible,  decreased  cervical  spine  extension,  and  has  a  short  thick  neck.  His  cricothyroid  membrane  is  difficult  to  palpate.  He  has  predictors  of  difficult  direct  laryngoscopy,  difficult  video-laryngoscopy,  difficult  bag-mask-ventilation,  difficult  extraglottic  device  (EGD)  use,  and  a  difficult  surgical  airway.  He  is  likely  to  be  intolerant  of  apnea.  An  awake  bronchoscopic  intubation  was  performed  which  was  uneventful  as  was  his  subsequent  surgery.
