THE EFFECT OF HEAD POSİTİON ON THE OPTİC NERVE SHEATH DİAMETER İN PATİENTS DURİNG THYROİD SURGERY
Detailed description
Aim: In thyroidectomy surgery, the patient's head is placed in hyperextension and the patient is placed in a semi-sitting position to facilitate access to the surgical site. This position of the head causes a decrease in venous return or partial obstruction of venous return due to stretching of the neck veins. The aim of our study is to demonstrate the effect of surgical position on intracranial pressure by measuring the optic nerve sheath diameter (OSSD) using ultrasonography in patients undergoing thyroid surgery and to determine its correlation with post-operative headaches. Material And Method: Our study was conducted prospectively and randomly in patients undergoing elective total thyroidectomy. Patients aged 18-65 with an ASA score of 1-2 and an operation time of less than 4 hours were included in our study. Patients were positioned in the semi-Fowler position with a 30° extension of the head. Bilateral OSSD surgical positioning was applied, and after ensuring haemodynamic stability for 5 minutes and at the end of the operation, measurements were taken twice using ultrasound, and the average was recorded. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to assess postoperative pain intensity. Headache was assessed and recorded at 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 24 hours, 3 days, and 7 days postoperatively.
