The Cormack-Lehane grading system is a classification used to describe the view obtained during direct laryngoscopy, particularly in the context of intubation. It helps anesthesiologists and other medical professionals assess the difficulty of intubation and plan appropriate strategies for airway management.

Classification is a supervised learning approach in machine learning where the goal is to predict the categorical label of a given input based on training data. It is widely used in applications such as spam detection, image recognition, and medical diagnosis, where the output is discrete and predefined.

Direct Laryngoscopy

Intubation is a medical procedure involving the insertion of a tube into the trachea to maintain an open airway, typically performed in emergency situations or during surgery. It is a critical skill for healthcare providers to ensure adequate ventilation and oxygenation in patients who are unable to breathe on their own.

Airway management is a critical skill in medicine focused on ensuring an open and clear airway to facilitate adequate ventilation and oxygenation. It encompasses a range of techniques and devices, from basic maneuvers to advanced interventions, to prevent or relieve airway obstruction in patients with compromised respiratory function.
