<unk> . In anesthesia, the<unk>  or<unk>  classification, named after the Indian anaesthesiologist Seshagiri<unk> , is used to predict the ease of endotracheal intubation. The test comprises a visual assessment of the distance from the tongue base to the roof of the mouth, and therefore the amount of space in which there is to work. It is an indirect way of assessing how difficult an intubation will be; this is more definitively<unk> d using the Cormack-Lehane classification system, which describes what is actually seen using direct laryngoscopy during the intubation process itself. A high<unk>  (class 3 or 4) is associated with more difficult intubation as well as a higher incidence of sleep apnea.
