Comparison of Mallampati scores and hemodynamic responses between elderly and younger patients: Prospective cohort study

Conclusion After intubation, the changes in SBP, MAP and DBP, Mallampati score, and intubation time were higher, and changes in HR were lower in elderly patients. The changes in SBP, MAP and DBP in elderly patients are associated with the changes in Mallampati score.
