Increase in Mallampati score during pregnancy.
A photographic version of the Mallampati test was developed and applied to 242 pregnant patients at 12 weeks' gestation and again at 38 weeks' gestation. At 38 weeks the number of grade 4 cases had increased by 34% (P < 0.001). This is in agreement with other evidence which suggests that difficult laryngoscopy is slightly more frequent in obstetrics (1.7%) than in general surgery (1.3%). The in...
متن کاملOBSTETRICS Mallampati class changes during pregnancy, labour, and after delivery: can these be predicted?
Methods. Mallampati class was evaluated at four time intervals in 87 pregnant patients: during the 8th month of pregnancy (T1), placement of epidural catheter (T2), 20 min after delivery (T3), and 48 h after delivery (T4). Factors such as gestational weight gain, duration of first and second stages of labour, and i.v. fluids administered during labour were evaluated for their predictive value. ...
متن کاملMallampati class changes during pregnancy, labour, and after delivery: can these be predicted?
BACKGROUND An increase in Mallampati class is associated with difficult laryngoscopy in obstetrics. The goal of our study was to determine the changes in Mallampati class before, during, and after labour, and to identify predictive factors of the changes. METHODS Mallampati class was evaluated at four time intervals in 87 pregnant patients: during the 8th month of pregnancy (T(1)), placement ...
متن کاملHigh Mallampati score and nasal obstruction are associated risk factors for obstructive sleep apnoea.
Induced nasal obstruction can cause obstructive apnoeas in healthy subjects during sleep, but the relationship between nasal resistance measured during wakefulness and obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is weak. It was postulated that if the subjects could not breathe through the nose, the oral airway must be used, but if this airway is narrowed as well, then it could precipitate sleep-di...
متن کاملPoor prognostic value of the modified Mallampati score: a meta-analysis involving 177 088 patients.
The modified Mallampati score is used to predict difficult tracheal intubation. We have conducted a meta-analysis of published studies to evaluate the Mallampati score as a prognostic test. A total of 55 studies involving 177 088 patients were included after comprehensive electronic and manual searches. The pooled estimates from the meta-analyses were calculated based on a random-effects model ...
