Abstract: Confirmation of endotracheal tube appointment is of critical importance, since unrecognized esophageal intubation can be rapidly lethal (death, brain damage). The aim of our study was to compare four different methods for prediction of difficult intubation: Mallampati, Thyro-mental distance, ULBT (Upper Lip Bite Test), and Inter incisicor gap. In a prospective study, 448 patients with a mean age of 53.5 who were scheduled for elective surgery were selected randomly and enrolled. Before induction of anesthesia, the airways were assessed by Mallampati test, Thyro mental distance, Upper lip bit test(ULBT) and Inter incisor gap. Laryngoscopic view according to the Cormack and Lehane grading system was determined after induction of anesthesia and Grades 3 and 4 defined as “difficult intubation.” Degree of observed difficulty of intubation was compared to predicted values. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values and accuracy of these tests and their combinations with the ULBT were calculated. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 16. Data were analysis by using Fishers exact and McNemar's test, and a Pvalue.
