Comparison of modified mallampati classification with Cormack and Lehane grading in predicting difficult laryngoscopy among elective surgical patients who took general anesthesia in Werabie comprehensive specialized hospital - Cross sectional study. Ethiopia, 2021. [PDF]
Ann Med Surg (Lond), 2022 Background Difficult laryngoscopy/intubation can cause a multitude of issues, including hypoxia, brain damage, and even death if not addressed swiftly. The Modified Mallampati test (MMT) is frequently used to predict difficult airway in patients with no ...

Determinants of difficult laryngoscopy based on upper airway indicators: a prospective observational study. [PDF]
BMC AnesthesiolBackground The main cause of anesthesia-related deaths is the failure to manage difficult airways. Difficult laryngoscopic exposure is a major cause of unsuccessful management of difficult airways.

Pre‐operative voice evaluation as a hypothetical predictor of difficult laryngoscopy [PDF]
Anaesthesia, 2019 We examined the potential for voice sounds to predict a difficult airway as compared with prediction by the modified Mallampati test. A total of 453 patients scheduled for elective surgery under general anaesthesia with tracheal intubation were studied ...

Influence of maxillofacial skeletal morphology on difficult laryngoscopy. [PDF]
BMC AnesthesiolAbstract Background Although mandibular retrognathia has been recognized as one of the predictors of difficult laryngoscopy, its definition remains vague, with no clearly established skeletal evaluation systems. The Sassouni classification system, used to categorize the maxillofacial morphology systematically (nine ...
