Mallampati class change has not been well evaluated during the cesarean delivery. Various factors regarding to cesarean delivery might influence this changes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the Mallampati class before and after cesarean delivery and to identify predictive factors of the changes.. Study Type: Observational Cross-sectional study
Mallampati class, thyromental distance, neck circumference, and upper lip bite test were evaluated at four time intervals : during pre-anesthetic visit (T0), 1-hour (T1), 6-hour (T2), and 24-hour after delivery (T3).
Study Type

Enrollment
104
Evaluate upper airway changes at several point of time before and after cesarean delivery
Evaluate Modified Mallampati score changes before and after cesarean delivery
Modified Mallampati score (score 1-4;1= easy airway and 4 = difficult airway) before delivery, 2 and 6 hours after delivery, and post-operative day1 (the day of surgery and post-operative day 1)
Time frame: up tp 2 days
Evaluate thyromental distance changes before and after cesarean delivery
thyromental distance (centimeter) before delivery, 2 and 6 hours after delivery, and post-operative day1 (the day of surgery and post-operative day 1)
Time frame: up tp 2 days
Evaluate upper lip bite score changes before and after cesarean delivery
Upper lip bite score (score 1-4; 1 = easy airway and 4 = difficult airway) before delivery, 2 and 6 hours after delivery, and post-operative day1 (the day of surgery and post-operative day 1)
Time frame: up to 2 days
Evaluate neck circumference changes before and after cesarean delivery
Neck circumference (centimeter) before delivery, 2 and 6 hours after delivery, and post-operative day1 (the day of surgery and post-operative day 1)
Time frame: up to 2 days
Oxytocin dosage and Alteration of Modified mallampati score
Evaluate the percentage of patients whose mallampati score increase from baseline between patient who recieved high dose oxytocin (≥ 0.6 U/minl) and low dose oxytocin ( \<0.6 U/min )
Time frame: up tp 2 days
Intraoperative intravenous fluid and Alteration of Modified mallampati score
Evaluate the percentage of patients whose mallampati score increase from baseline between patient who recieved intravenous fluid ≥ 2000 ml and \< 2000 ml
