Abstract
A 46-year-old male with a known history of difficult intubation presented for elective surgery. It was considered prudent to perform an awake intubation and a size 3 laryngeal mask was introduced under topical anesthesia. A gum elastic bougie was then passed, enabling the laryngeal mask to be removed and a tracheal tube to be inserted.
