ABSTRACT
Airway management is one of the most important routine tasks performed by an anesthesiologist. Adept airway management is an essential skill for an anesthesiologist. Although practice guidelines and algorithms may help in such situations, but vigilance and a timely decision remain all important in such a situation. We encountered a patient with a rapidly enlarging subscapular mass due to which maintenance of supine position on the operating table for laryngoscopy and intubation was almost impossible. We had little options for airway management during general anesthesia in this patient. We present our method of successful management in this case and reiterate the role of different methods of correct positioning and intubation in such circumstances
