Difficult airway challenges-intubation and extubation matters in a case of large goiter with retrosternal extension
Dr Geeta Choudhary, Dr Sandhya
Abstract :
Large thyroid masses with retrosternal extension present several potential difficulties for anesthetist. Anesthetic implication that includes difficult
airway management, uncontrolled hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism and postthyroidectomy complications. Securing airway in such cases is
difficult and require skillful management. We present the anesthetic management in a patient with a large goiter with retrosternal extension leading
to tracheal compression and deviation. We managed the case with an awake fiberoptic intubation and guided extubation.
