Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To assess of vocal cords by both laryngeal ultrasonography and direct laryngoscopy in compare which modality is better and provides good patient comfort in Thyroidectomy patientsTimepoint: Opd vist - indirect laryngoscopy or laryngo endoscopy Preoperatively 30 minutes before induction of Anesthesia Laryngeal ultrasound by Anesthesiologist 10minutes before extubation direct Laryngoscopy and assesment of vocal colds In first hour of postoperative period by 2nd Laryngeal ultrasound by different anesthesiologist followed by 5 days on the day of discharge indirect laryngoscopy

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the heamodynamic parameters and patients comfort while assseing the vocal cords using both methodsTimepoint: Blood pressure,heart rate,spo2, respiratory rate and mean arterial pressure are assesed before extubation and also noted at 1 min 2min 3 min 4 min 5 min during directlarunhiscopy And similarly noted while performing Transcutaneous ultrasonography
