Comparison of modified Mallampati test with and without phonation for prediction of difficult laryngoscopy and intubation among adult surgical patients: cross-sectional study
The MMT with phonation has higher accuracy, specificity, and positive predictive value for difficult laryngoscopy and intubation than the non-phonation approach. MMT combined with phonation can be used as an alternative assessment tool to predict difficult airways.
