View clinical trials related to Thyroidectomy.
Filter by:Endoscopic thyroidectomy developed rapidly in recent years, and the most popular surgical approach was endoscopic thyroidectomy by bilateral areola approach, but some operative steps was required optimization. One of the most annoying problem was the smog blurring endoscopic lens during surgery. The researcher summarized a set of convenient foot-control exhaust method and carried out this prospective study.
Appropriate indices to guide fluid therapy are essential for effective hemodynamic management during the perioperative period. Values derived from respiratory changes in arterial pressure waveform or plethysmographic waveform such as stroke volume variation and pleth variability index have been demonstrated to be able to predict fluid responsiveness in surgical or critically ill patients. Their ability to predict fluid responsiveness can be affected by factors that influence the arterial tone or the compliance of the respiratory system by position change. The aim of this prospective trial is to investigate the ability of stroke volume variation and pleth variability index to predict fluid responsiveness in the reverse trendelenberg position.
Purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcome of total thyroidectomy on vocal and swallowing function.
The purpose of this study is 1) to investigate whether the use of BIS as a guide to the administration of inhaled anesthetic (sevoflurane or desflurane) compared with the use of hemodynamic parameters (blood pressure and heart rate) would affect the occurrence of implicit memory and /or dreams recall and 2) to check whether the occurrence of implicit memory and/or dreams recall is related with MAC (Minimal Alveolar Concentration) of inhalational anesthetics and/or preoperative anxiety levels.
Hypocalcemia is one of the most frequent complications of total thyroidectomy, a procedure used for benign as well as malignant conditions of the thyroid gland. Postoperative hypocalcemia is usually caused by hypoparathyroidism. Vitamin D is implicated in calcium metabolism as it increases intestinal calcium transport and regulates parathormone production. Aim of the present study is to evaluate preoperative vitamin D levels as a prognostic factor for postoperative hypocalcemia and hypoparathyroidism.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of 8 mg of dexamethasone administered prior surgery, to reduce pain, postoperative nausea and vomiting and to improve vocal function after thyroidectomy for benign disease.
