Comparative study evaluates predictive accuracy of airway assessment tools in surgical patients, highlighting methods for detecting difficult tracheal intubation.
Preoperative evaluation is important in the detection of patients at risk for difficult tracheal intubation. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate and compare the accuracies of the Ratio of Patient's Height to TMD (Ratio of height to TMD = RHTMD), with TMD and Modified Mallampati classification (MP) in the prediction of difficult tracheal intubation.
