Morbidly obese patients may present a challenge during airway management. When airway tube exchange is required, it can even\r\nbe more challenging than the primary intubation. With the increasing prevalence of morbid obesity over the years, there will be\r\nincreasing numbers of these patients presenting for surgical procedures, including ones that require endotracheal tube exchanges.\r\nIt is therefore important for anesthesiologists to be familiar with options and limitations of the airway tube exchanger techniques.
