Mallampati score: Learn about the Mallampati Score

Learn about the Mallampati Score, a system to predict difficult intubation based on the visualisation of the pharyngeal structures. Find out its history, classification, references and associated persons. The Mallampati score is a simple visual tool used to evaluate airway anatomy and estimate sleep apnea risk. Learn how it’s measured and what your score means. This activity focuses on the Mallampati score, a simple and rapid tool enabling proceduralists to evaluate airway anatomy and predict potential difficulties during airway manipulation. The Mallampati score is used to predict the ease of intubation and the risk of obstructive sleep apnea. It involves looking at the back of the throat and classifying the structures seen from I to IV.
