IMPLICATIONS: We collected data to correlate anatomical indexes and the difficult airway.
The Mallampati score correlates with the laryngoscopic view (Cormack-Lehane score), but it
is not useful in the prediction of difficult intubation as a single risk factor. Inadequate
ventilation, esophageal intubation, and difficult tracheal intubation are the most common
mechanisms of respiratory-related adverse outcomes in anesthesia practice (1–5). The

IMPLICATIONS: We collected data to correlate anatomical indexes and the difficult airway. The Mallampati score correlates with the laryngoscopic view (Cormack-Lehane score), but it is not useful in the prediction of difficult intubation as a single risk factor.
Inadequate ventilation, esophageal intubation, and difficult tracheal intubation are the most common mechanisms of respiratory-related adverse outcomes in anesthesia practice (1–5). The incidences of difficult laryngoscopy (DL), difficult intubation (DI), and difficult mask ventilation (DMV) are not well defined and are subject to physician variability, but they occur in 1.5%–13%(6–9), 1.2%–3.8%(3, 10–16), and 0.01%–0.5%(8, 9, 17, 18) of patients, respectively.
