OBSTETRICS Mallampati class changes during pregnancy, labour, and after delivery: can these be predicted?

چکیده
Methods. Mallampati class was evaluated at four time intervals in 87 pregnant patients: during the 8th month of pregnancy (T1), placement of epidural catheter (T2), 20 min after delivery (T3), and 48 h after delivery (T4). Factors such as gestational weight gain, duration of first and second stages of labour, and i.v. fluids administered during labour were evaluated for their predictive value. Mallampati classes 3 and 4 were compared for each time interval. Logistic regression was used to test the association between each factor and Mallampati class evolution.
