A Comparison between Modified Mallampati Test, Thyromental Distance, Upper Lip Bite Test and Neck Circumference for Predicting Difficult Intubation
Background: Various bedside screening tests are employed for the prediction of difficult intubation. In this study, we compared 4 bedside tests viz. the Modified Mallampati Test (MMT), the Thyromental Distance (TMD) measurement, the Upper Lip Bite Test (ULBT) and the Neck Circumference (NC) measurement in terms of Sensitivity, Specificity, Positive Predictive Value and Negative Predictive Value...
متن کاملA comparison of Mallampati scoring, upper lip bite test and sternomental distance in predicting difficult intubation
Mallampati et al, proposed a grading system to anticipate difficult intubation, which considers visualization of faucial pillars, soft palate and base of uvula. 4 The upper lip bite test (ULBT) was proposed as a simple bed side technique by Khan et al, which involves the assessment of jaw subluxation and presence of buck teeth. 9 Savva et al, proposed sternomental distance (distance from the su...
متن کاملComparison Upper Lip Bite Test and Mallampati Test in the Prediction of Difficult Laryngoscopy
Background and Objective: Intubation is the most common method for the management of the upper airway in general anesthesia. In this regard, the prediction of the ease or difficulty of intubation is of paramount importance for the anesthesia team. The main cause of anesthesia-related mortality is failed airway management. The present study aimed to compare the accuracy of the upper lip bite (UL...
متن کاملThe diagnostic value of the upper lip bite test combined with sternomental distance, thyromental distance, and interincisor distance for prediction of easy laryngoscopy and intubation: a prospective study.
BACKGROUND Accuracy of upper lip bite test (ULBT) has been compared with the Mallampati classification. In this study, we investigated whether the combination of the ULBT classification with sternomental distance (SMD), thyromental distance (TMD), and interincisor distance (IID) or a composite score can improve the ability to predict easy laryngoscopy and intubation compared with each test alon...
متن کاملModified Mallampati test and thyromental distance as a predictor of difficult laryngoscopy in Thai patients.
BACKGROUND Preoperative evaluation of anatomical landmarks and clinical factors are important in the detection of patients at risk for difficult laryngoscopy. The modified Mallampati test (MMT) and thyromental distance (TMD) are commonly used for this purpose but there are controversies regarding their accuracy. OBJECTIVE The objective of the present study was to evaluate the accuracy of MMT ...
