Some names in Anaesthesiology are not just remembered…
They are spoken before every intubation.
Dr. Seshagiri Rao Mallampati gave us more than a score.
He gave us foresight in crisis.
He gave us safety before uncertainty.
He gave us confidence before induction.
Every time we assess an airway…
Every time we say “Mallampati Class…”
His legacy lives on in that moment.
As an anaesthesiologist, I stand in gratitude.
Because behind every secured airway is the brilliance of a visionary who changed our practice forever.
Legends don’t retire.
They echo in operating rooms across the world.
Om Shanti 🙏
