Abstract

Background: Airway management is critical in pediatric anesthesia, as failure can lead to severe complications, including cardiac arrest. Anticipating and preparing for difficult intubation is essential, particularly in children with unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. The Colorado Pediatric Airway Score (COPUR) is a predictive tool for assessing intubation difficulty in pediatric patients.Objective: This study evaluates the validity of COPUR in predicting difficult intubation in children.Methods: A cross-sectional diagnostic study was conducted on 121 pediatric patients (aged 1–8 years) undergoing general anesthesia at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. COPUR assesses jaw structure, mouth opening, prior intubation history, uvula visibility, neck movement, and additional modifying factors (macroglossia, obesity, mucopolysaccharidosis, and protruding teeth). A COPUR score >7 was used to predict difficult intubation, while intubation difficulty was defined by an Intubation Difficulty Score (IDS) >5.Results: A COPUR score ≥8 predicted difficult intubation in 15.7% of patients, whereas actual difficult intubation occurred in 9.92%. A COPUR threshold of ≥7 provided optimal sensitivity (83.3%) and specificity (61.47%), outperforming the original cutoff of 8 (50% sensitivity, 87% specificity). The score demonstrated good discriminative ability (AUC-ROC: 0.770, 95% CI: 0.685–0.842) and suitable calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow test, p = 0.584).Conclusion: The COPUR score is a valid tool for predicting difficult intubation in pediatric patients aged 1–8 years, demonstrating fairly good discrimination and calibration values.

Abstract

Introduction: The Mallampati score and thyromental distance (TMD) are frequently used to identify challenging laryngoscopies, but their reliability in predicting difficulty is uncertain. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of using the ratio of height to thyromental distance (RHTMD) in predicting difficult visualization of the larynx (DVL) when compared to the Mallampati score and TMD.Method: To achieve this goal, 277 patients who received general anesthesia during elective surgery were evaluated using the Mallampati score, TMD, and RHTMD. The Cormack and Lehane (CL) classification was used to grade the laryngeal view, with CL grade 3 and 4 indicating difficult visualization. The study then determined and compared the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity for each airway predictor.Results: The AUC of RHTMD (85.5%) was better than TMD (82.7%) and significantly better than the Mallampati score (61.4%).Conclusion: RHTMD is more accurate in predicting difficult laryngoscopy than both the Mallampati score and TMD.
