Abstract

Background: DIFFICULT INTUBATION, often unexpected, remains a primary concern for the anesthesiologist. The purpose of this study was to compare the SENSITIVITY and SPECIFICITY of MALLAMPATI SCORE with THYROMENTAL DISTANCE in predicting DIFFICULT INTUBATION.Materials and Methods: In a prospective study three hundred patients undergoing general anesthesia were included. In all patients THYROMENTAL DISTANCE the MALLAMPATI SCORE were evaluated preoperatively. THYROMENTAL DISTANCE equal or less than 6 cm and MALLAMPATI SCORE of 3 or 4 were assumed DIFFICULT INTUBATION. The Cormack grade was .determined after the induction of anesthesia and grade 3 or 4 was considered DIFFICULT INTUBATION. SENSITIVITY and SPECIFICITY of these tests in predicting DIFFICULT INTUBATION were calculated.Results: In 25 (8.33%) patients was difficult. In 45 patients the MALLAMPATI SCORE were 3 or 4 and in 64 patients THYROMENTAL DISTANCE were less than 6 cm. the SENSITIVITY and SPECIFICITY of MALLAMPATI SCORE in predictivg DIFFICULT INTUBATION was 88% repectively and for THYROMENTAL DISTANCE were 80% and 84.28% (P<0.05, Chi- Square). With simulanoeus using of these tests under POC curve and SENSITIVITY improved but SPECIFICITY and accuracy decreased.Conclusion: Concomitant use of Mallampati scoring and THYROMENTAL DISTANCE greater than 6 cm is more sensitive in predicyting DIFFICULT INTUBATION.
