Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Our primary objective will be to compare the use of TLUSG with that of video laryngoscope for assessing the accuracy of vocal cord mobility following thyroidectomy.Timepoint: preoperatively at intubation at extubation | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1.Preoperative and postoperative vocal cord mobility before and after surgery using TLUSG 2. Preoperative and postoperative Cormack and Lehane grading of laryngeal visualization using videolaryngoscope. 3. Time taken to assess VC mobility following surgery 4.Hemodynamic changes during VC assessment post-thyroidectomy 5.Indirect Laryngeal assessment finding preoperative and post operative at day 1 6.fibroptic findings on postoperative day 7 Timepoint: properatvely at intubation at extubation postoperative day 1 postoperative day 7 | — |
