Mallampati Classification vs Best Visible Mallampati for Prediction of Difficult Tracheal Intubation

NCT02788253 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 3244

Last updated 2023-02-08

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Mallampati score (classification of the visibility of oropharyngeal structures) should be performed in the sitting position, head in the neutral position, mouth widely open, and tongue protrudes, without phonation. However, phonation, and position modify the visibility of oropharyngeal structures and thus the Mallampati score.

We aimed at evaluating the predictive value of the best observable Mallampati score as compare to the recommended Mallampati score.
