LEMON approach in one of the most commonly used tools to evaluate airway difficulty in ER . Very often we are all so fascinated about Mallampatti which is the 3rd letter in the Lemon . Interestingly it has got limited or no role in real emergency like unresponsive patients . Practically LEON is more appropriate in ER . But in trauma cases N "Neck Mobility" assessment going to be  disastrous and contraindicated . So LEO will be enough in such situation . Don't forget alteast to do LEO in all cases before airway management and document if any .. Essentially each and every one should fill the airway check list including assessment sheet before airway interventions DrVenu 29.12.16
