  • glidescope versus macintosh laryngoscope for assessment of post thyroidectomy Vocal Cord Dysfunction prospective randomized study
    Minerva Anestesiologica, 2020
    Co-Authors: Marwa A Elbeialy, Ahmed M Maarouf, Amin Mohammed Alansary
    Abstract:

    BACKGROUND Early detection of post-thyroidectomy Vocal Cord Dysfunction is crucial. This study compared GlideScope® with Macintosh direct laryngoscope (MDL) regarding the accuracy of assessment of post-thyroidectomy Vocal Cord Dysfunction. METHODS One hundred and twenty patients scheduled for elective thyroidectomy, aged 18 - 50 years, of either sex were enrolled in the study. Standard general anesthesia technique was used in all patients. At the end of operation, patients were randomly allocated into one of the following sequences: 1) examined with MDL then GlideScope®, or 2) examined with GlideScope® then MDL. Postoperative tele-laryngoscopic examination was done after 12 hours. The primary outcome of the study was the sensitivity and the specificity of GlideScope® to detect Vocal Cord Dysfunction while the secondary outcomes were the Cormack-Lehane grade of the glottis visualization and the incidence of complications. RESULTS The incidence of Vocal Cord Dysfunction was 15 (12.5%); all cases were unilateral. The GlideScope® was more sensitive (86.7%) and specific (95.2%) with higher diagnostic accuracy (94.2%) for detecting Vocal Cord Dysfunction than MDL. There was a high agreement between the GlideScope® findings and the final diagnosis (kappa 0.754 [95% CI: 0.581-0.928]). Cormack-Lehane score was significantly better by the GlideScope® than by the MDL (P<0.001). The incidence of hoarseness of voice was 32 (26.7%) with eight cases among the diagnosed patients. No cases of aspiration or stridor were reCorded. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that GlideScope® is a better alternative to MDL for an accurate detection of post-thyroidectomy Vocal Cord Dysfunction.

  • acute management of paradoxical Vocal fold motion Vocal Cord Dysfunction
    Annals of Emergency Medicine, 2017
    Co-Authors: Nizhoni Denipah, Christopher M Dominguez, Erik P Kraai, Tania Kraai, Paul Leos, Darren Braude
    Abstract:

    Paradoxical Vocal fold motion disorder, also commonly termed Vocal Cord Dysfunction, is a poorly understood cause of acute upper airway obstruction. Patients with paradoxical Vocal fold motion frequently present to the emergency department (ED) with acute respiratory distress and stridor. Lack of familiarity with this disorder may lead to delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis and unnecessary intubations or surgical airway procedures. Although long-term management of paradoxical Vocal fold motion is well described, there is a paucity of information about acute evaluation and management. This article aims to summarize the ED presentation and management of paradoxical Vocal fold motion.
