Intubation While Awake?

Hi. I have noticed that there has been a lot of talk lately about intubation while awake. I have been trying to determine why this would take place (I am waiting for my surgeon appt.) and have looked at profiles with BMI's from 39 to 58, so it certainly is not only based on weight. Small airways?? Any other reasons?
