Awake Fiberoptic Nasotracheal Intubation and Anesthetic Management of a Patient With a Compressed and Deviated Airway From a Massive Thyroid Goiter: A Case Report
Difficult airway management is a challenge for anesthesiologists, requiring proper assessment, planning, and sometimes a multidisciplinary approach to establish a secure airway. Here we present a case where the patient had a large thyroid goiter with significant tracheal compression. Due to the larg...

description | Difficult airway management is a challenge for anesthesiologists, requiring proper assessment, planning, and sometimes a multidisciplinary approach to establish a secure airway. Here we present a case where the patient had a large thyroid goiter with significant tracheal compression. Due to the large size of the thyroid mass and the location of tracheal narrowing, fiberoptic intubation appeared to be challenging, and a surgical airway was not a viable option to obtain a secure airway for a total thyroidectomy. This case report discusses awake fiberoptic intubation and intraoperative anesthetic management of a patient with known airway compression and explores the alternative method for obtaining a definitive airway through venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. |
