Difficult airway in a large case of multi nodular goiter with retro-sternal extention: Challenges & management
Dr. Chhavi Goel, Dr. Rajat Garg
Abstract :
Introduction:
Enlarged thyroid is endemic in northern parts of India. This enlarged gland can lead to airway compromise and difficult tracheal intubation. Retro–sternal extension further increases the challenges for an anaesthesiologist. Many techniques are available for securing such airways depending upon individual familiarity and expertise. We describe here the presentation, diagnosis and peri–operative management of the patient who was managed with an awake fieoptic intubation.
