"CLINICAL EVALUATION OF THE MODIFIED MALLAMPATI SCORE FOR PREDICTING DIFFICULT INTUBATION: CORRELATION WITH CORMACK-LEHANE GRADING"

Abstract

Introduction: 
Difficult intubation presents a significant challenge for anaesthesiologists, particularly when it 
is unexpected. Early recognition of a difficult airway through preoperative assessment is 
crucial to prevent potential complications associated with airway management failure. This 
study primarily aims to correlate the Mallampati modified score with the laryngoscopic view 
to enhance the prediction of difficult airways
