Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Problems with breathing immediately after extubation following thyroidectomy are rare, but can usually be attributed to a surgical error such as damage to one or both recurrent laryngeal nerves. Tracheomalacia may also cause respiratory distress following extubation. We present an unusual cause of failure to resume spontaneous respiration after thyroidectomy. |
