Retrosternal goitre: Anaesthetic implications and management
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anaesthesia - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Large retrosternal goitre is a challenge to the anaesthesiologist and the surgeon We describe the successful anaesthetic management of a 44 year old male patient with extensive retrosternal goitre with severe tracheal compression operated for total thyroidectomy under general anaesthesia by combined cervical approach and sternotomy A multidisciplinary team approach with surgical colleagues allowed successful management of the patientKeywords Retrosternal goitre Thyroidectomy Sternotomy Awake fibreoptic intubation
