Seshagiri Rao Mallampati

Seshagiri Rao Mallampati is a method used by healthcare providers to assess how easily a patient might breathe during anesthesia or if they have obstructive sleep apnea. It involves examining the mouth and throat, specifically looking at how much of the tongue and throat structures are visible when the patient opens their mouth and sticks out their tongue. This classification helps predict potential airways issues, guiding safe anesthesia planning and treatment options for breathing-related sleep problems. It is a quick, non-invasive way to evaluate airway obstruction risk.
