Assessment of predictive value of thyromental height in predicting difficult laryngoscopy compared with Mallampati, and thyromental distance among surgical patient who will take general anesthesia at selected governmental hospital cross-sectional study: Ethiopia, 2022.

Background: Anesthesiologists must always perform a preoperative airway examination to identify individuals who will have challenging laryngoscopy. In an effort to identify the most accurate airway predictor, numerous authors have evaluated a number of predictive assays. Thyromental height test (TMHT), a new airway predictor, has recently been demonstrated to have good predictive value in determining difficult airways.
