Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: patients posted for thyroid surgery(total or subtotal or hemithyroidectomy), parathyroid surgery, radical or functional neck dissection surgeries.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: patients with coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, pregnant patients, pediatric patients, emergency front-of-neck surgeries, patients who are not willing for consent for the surgery.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1.To compare the efficacy of trans laryngeal ultrasound over fibreoptic bronchoscope for assessing vocal cord palsy at/after extubation.Timepoint: baseline/ preoperatively immediately before surgery, at the end of surgery, at 2 days postoperatively and at 2 month follow up post surgery

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Time taken to assess VC mobility during both the techniques. 2. Assessment of displacement from the midline in case of palsy using both techniques. 3. Assessment for change in vocal cord displacement velocity (VCDV) by TL-USG Timepoint: baseline/ preoperatively immediately before surgery, at the end of surgery, at 2 days postoperatively and at 2 month follow up post surgery
