Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| airway evaluation for menagement in obese patient | 3 year | preoperative airway measurements routinely performed (mallampati score, thyromental distance, neck circumference ..)for each patient will be evaluated |
| mallampati score | 3 year | 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. |
| thyromental distance | 3 year | TMD was measured as straight distance between thyroid notch and lower border of mental prominence.(cm) |
| neck circumference | 3 year | 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. |
