Difficult intubation in thyroid surgery: myth or reality?
Thyroid surgery is considered to be a risk factor for difficult airway management. We prospectively studied 324 consecutive patients undergoing thyroid surgery to investigate the incidence of difficult intubation as evaluated by the intubation difficulty scale as well as other specific predictive factors. The overall incidence of difficult intubation was 11.1% (95% CI: 7.6-14.5). Median intubat...
متن کامل[Does ultrasonographic volume of the thyroid gland correlate with difficult intubation? An observational study].
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Preoperative ultrasonographic evaluation of the thyroid gland done by surgeons could let us foresee airway management challenges. The aim of this observational study was to evaluate the effects of thyroid-related parameters assessed preoperatively by surgeons via ultrasonography and chest X-ray on intubation conditions. METHODS Fifty patients undergoing thyroid surge...
متن کاملA case report on difficult intubation and accidental intraoperative extubation in large thyroid mass surgery
Despite the decrease in the incidence of goiter throughout the world, there are still cases reported having large thyroid masses presenting for surgery. These cases impose difficulty for definite airway management while providing anaesthesia to these patients. Recent advances in airway management and its widespread availability such as fibreoptic bronchoscope has decreased the rate of various c...
متن کاملLingual thyroid: a rare cause of difficult intubation.
This case report is about a patient with an oropharyngeal mass presenting to our hospital for biopsy under general anesthesia. Because of the great risk of failure of mask ventilation and direct laryngoscopy, an awake fiberoptic intubation was performed successfully. The biopsy revealed a thyroid tissue leading to the diagnosis of ectopic lingual thyroid.

SURGERY IN SIMPLE GOITRE The Solitary Nodule The apparently solitary swelling, clinically and colloquially referred to as a ' simple adenoma,' may histologically be a hyperplastic nodule (due to compensatory hyperplasia) or a neoplastic nodule (innocent or malignant). The management of the solitary nodule is influenced in some hands by the availability or not of 131I facilities for investigatio...
