Mallempati Score. Image from MedScape.com<\/p><\/div>\n

Next time you look in the mirror, take a look at the back of your throat. That\u2019s what UVA anesthesiologists and proceduralists are doing. In addition to using the American Society for Anesthesiologists (ASA) guidelines for airway assessment, patients who are undergoing any procedure requiring any sedation will now be assessed using the Mallempati tool. The score is determined by visualization of the uvula and the soft palate and the inclusion is based on the recognition that although not part of the planned procedure, unexpected events can occur, prompting a need for urgent intubation.<\/p>\n

The Joint Commission Visit – LIP Related Items<\/h5>\n

For LIPS, a few items are the focus for the Health System in the next few weeks. These include:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Pre-procedural airway assessment \u2013 we have been using the Mallampati scoring system for patients who undergo deep sedation. We will now assess all patients about to undergo a procedure using this scoring system.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cPer Protocol\u201d orders \u2013 we will now hyperlink references to clinical protocols.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Concurrency in the ORs \u2013 standard phrases exist, but to ensure that the correct one is used, we are reviewing and revising the smart texts associated with attestation for surgical case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
