Brief Summary
Total of 100 patients are included in this is a prospective observational study to evaluate the role of airway ultrasound (USG) in assessing vocal cord mobility in patients undergoing thyroid surgery. patients will be scanned preoperatively by airway ultrasound which will be compared to post operative ultrasound scans.

Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Objective confirmation of vocal cords movement
pre operatively and at 4 hours after extubation
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Comparison of preoperative doppler velocity with post operative doppler velocity.
At 4 hours after extubation.
Study Arms (1)
Vocal cords movement assessment by airway USG.
Preoperatively patients undergoing thyroid surgery will be scanned by airway ultrasound and graded for vocal cord movement, the same group of patients will be again scanned and graded by airway ultrasound at 4th post operative hours.
Interventions
Glottic aperture will be scanned using 7.5 megahertz (MHz) linear transducer portable ultrasound machine. after getting the best acoustic window, true, false vocal cords arytenoid movements will be visualized. Individual cord will be focused and doppler velocity will be measured for both the cords.
Eligibility Criteria
patients undergoing thyroid surgery.
You may qualify if:
- patients undergoing thyroid surgery between specified age limits.
You may not qualify if:
- Retro sternal goiters.
