Sažetak
Endotracheal intubation is an airway management procedure commonly performed
under general anesthesia. It is linked with postoperative voice changes. The incidence and
reasons of hoarseness and vocal cord injury are not very well investigated, especially after short-term
anesthesia and intubation in head and neck surgery. The aim of the study is to identify the causes of
voice changes after short endotracheal anesthesia in head and neck surgery. The study will include
patients scheduled for head and neck surgery under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation
up to 3 hours. There will be 3 groups of patients, as follows: thyroid surgery, non-thyroid surgery, and
control group undergoing surgery outside head and neck. Videostroboscopy will be recorded before
and after surgery. Further diagnostic workup will include voice status; subjective voice self-analysis;
perceptive and objective acoustic voice analysis at 4 time points (preoperatively, postoperative day 2, 2
weeks and 1 month after surgery). Endotracheal intubation is a safe method of airway management
although it can temporarily alter a patient’s voice quality. It is not known how much of this is the result
of anesthesia, general condition of the patient, or surgery. This trial is expected to shed some light on
this issue.
