The Anatomy
You must prepare the kit to be utilised when you find your patient with some anatomical problems, such as the chin; evaluated by the Thyromental distance. If you ask your patient to open their mouths widely, the relative size of the patient's tongue to intraoral structures such as Uvula, Tonsillar pillars, and posterior pharyngeal wall can help you predict the difficulty of your patient's airway.
This Method is called Mallampati's Classification. The easier airway means that lower grade on Mallampati's which means that you can have a glimpse on your patient's uvula and tonsils, while the more difficult airway means that you cannot see your patient's uvula and the tongue is relatively big in the oral cavity.
