Difficult airway....!

This is for all the anaesthetists I'm afraid. This lady gave her consent to be put in our blog with her photo. Awake intubation was performed, not quite as we'd expect from our western practice however. A gargle of 2% lidocaine and direct laryngoscopy was performed, awake. Seemed to work well actually...

Photographed with the patients permission
