Comparing two types of anesthesia for thyroid surgery and their effect on airway recovery
This study compares two ways of giving anesthesia during thyroid surgery: one through a vein and one through inhaled gas. The goal is to see which method leads to fewer breathing or throat problems after surgery, which may help you recover more comfortably.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You are in good health overall (classified as ASA I or II)
- You are having your thyroid gland removed for the first time (partial or total)
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 35 or less
- You do not have a history of vocal cord paralysis, neck surgery, or nerve/muscle disorders
- You do not have a history of difficult intubation (when a breathing tube is hard to place)

This trial compares recovery after two types of general anesthesia: one given through an IV (propofol) and one inhaled as a gas. It aims to see which approach leads to a smoother recovery for people having non-cardiac surgery.
This study compares two types of anesthesia used during thyroid surgery to see how they affect inflammation and amino acid metabolism in the body. The results may help improve recovery after surgery.
This study compares two medicines given while the breathing tube is removed after thyroid surgery. It aims to reduce coughing and discomfort, making recovery more comfortable.
This study compares two types of anesthesia for thyroid surgery: one with opioids (strong painkillers) and one without. The goal is to see which approach helps patients recover better right after surgery, with fewer side effects.
This trial is testing different types of breathing tubes used during thyroid surgery in women. It aims to find which tube works best to keep the airway safe and reduce side effects.
This study tests whether a medicine called esketamine can make the removal of the breathing tube from the throat smoother and less likely to cause coughing during recovery from thyroid surgery done through the mouth. It may help you wake up more comfortably after your operation.
