Summary

The study title "Clinical trial of comparative evaluation of the Modified Mallampati Score and Modified Mallampati Score along with Thyromental distance, Anatomical abnormality, and Cervical mobility (M-TAC) in Predicting Difficult Airway " was undertaken to evaluate prediction of difficult airway by comparing preoperative airway evaluation tests.

Mallampati classification is the most used screening test for detection of difficult intubation it is a classification of oropharyngeal view. Other tests include sternomental distance, thyromental distance, Wilson risk sum score, upper lip bite test, protrusion of mandible, tooth morphology, head extension, mouth opening, body mass index, 3-3-2 rule and ultrasonography of neck soft tissue. We studied 200 adult ASA I \& II patients of either sex, aged between 18-60 yrs undergoing elective surgery receiving general anesthesia.

Modified mallampati classification had four grades \& each grade was given a score, similarly thyromental distance (TMD), anatomical abnormality (AA) \& cervical mobility (CM) was classified into three grades \& each grade was given a score. For M-TAC individual scores were added.
