Recall and Perceived Applicability of Ganzouri Airway Scoring System Versus LEMON Score for Airway Assessment Among Anesthesia Residents
Sponsor: Cairo University
Summary
Our aim is to compare the recall and perceived clinical applicability of Ganzouri airway scoring system versus LEMON score for airway assessment from residents' perspective.

Ganzouri Airway Scoring System
This scoring system evaluates seven parameters: 1. Mouth opening (interincisor distance) 2. Thyromental distance 3. Mallampati classification 4. Neck movement 5. Ability to prognath (mandibular protrusion) 6. Body weight 7. History of difficult intubation Each parameter was scored, score interpretation from 1- 4 with increasing difficulty , ≥4 suggesting awake intubation.
LEMON Score
The LEMON mnemonic represents: 1. Look externally (facial trauma, large incisors, beard, etc.) 2. Evaluate 3-3-2 rule (mouth opening, hyomental distance, thyroidtomouth distance) 3. Mallampati score 4. Obstruction (presence of airway obstruction) 5. Neck mobility
