What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. airway evaluation for menagement in obese patient

    preoperative airway measurements routinely performed (mallampati score, thyromental distance, neck circumference ..)for each patient will be evaluated

    Measured: 3 year

  2. mallampati score

    Class I : Visualization of the soft palate, fauces; uvula, anterior and the posterior pillars. Class II : Visualization of the soft palate, fauces and uvula. Class III : Visualization of soft palate and base of uvula. Class IV: Only hard palate is visible. Soft palate is not visible at all.

    Measured: 3 year

  3. thyromental distance

    TMD was measured as straight distance between thyroid notch and lower border of mental prominence.(cm)

    Measured: 3 year

  4. neck circumference

    Neck Circumference was measured in the midway of the neck, between mid-cervical spine and mid anterior neck, to within 1 mm, using non-stretchable plastic tape with the subjects standing upright.

    Measured: 3 year
