Brief Summary  

:Injury to the nerves following thyroid surgery is more common among the complications evaluated. Accurate and timely evaluation of vocal cord function relieves the stress of both surgeon and anesthesiologist along with optimizing ongoing management. Conventional direct laryngoscopy is the commonly used tool for vocal cord assessment during extubation in thyroid surgeries.Videolaryngoscopes, the new entrant in the airway armamentarium, are not well researched as an equipment to prognosticate extubation in thyroid surgery. Appropriate visualization and assessment of vocal cords during extubation with videolaryngoscopes can be useful for record keeping and documentation. This study was therefore conducted to compare the conventional direct laryngoscopy with prototypes of channeled and non-channeled videolaryngoscopes – Airtraq and McGrath respectively for extubation in thyroid surgery.
