What can Anthropometric Measurements Tell us About Mallampati Classification?
Objective: Mallampati scoring is the most common examination method for predicting possible intubation problems. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship of facial anthropometric measurements with the modified Mallampati score (MMS). Material and Methods: The study population consisted of 153 male and 170 female volunteers (mean ages, 48,9±16,9 and 44,1±15,4 years, respectiv...
متن کاملEffects of posture, phonation and observer on Mallampati classification.
We have studied the effects of phonation and posture on the Mallampati classification of view of the pharyngeal structures. Differences between observers were allowed for by the experimental design and log-linear modelling. Sixty-four patients were assessed on the ward, sitting upright, with and without phonation, by each of two observers. Another 64 patients were assessed without phonation, bu...
متن کاملMallampati Scoring: Extend the Neck!
The four-point modified Mallampati (MMP) score is widely used as a marker of difficult intubation. The evaluation is usually performed by having patients open their mouth and protrude their tongue with the head and neck in a neutral position. However, mouth opening has been shown to be greater when the head and neck are extended. In this study, examiners with a minimum of 1 year of airway exper...
متن کاملMallampati class, obesity, and a novel airway trajectory measurement to predict difficult laryngoscopy.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To determine whether Mallampati class correlates with Cormack-Lehane grade in obese adults, and investigate a novel airway trajectory measurement (ATM) to anticipate difficult laryngoscopy. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort plus a pilot study. METHODS One hundred eighty-four nonobese and 160 obese adults underwent laryngoscopy. Spearman correlations, gamma coefficients...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of the Aureocin A53–Producing Strain Staphylococcus aureus A53
Here, we present the 2,658,363-bp draft genome sequence of the aureocin A53-producing strain Staphylococcus aureus A53. This genome information may contribute to the optimal and rational exploitation of aureocin A53 as an antimicrobial agent and to its production in large scale.
