Abstract
Introduction: Tackling difficult airway in huge, complex thyroid is itself an anaesthetic challenge with its difficulty to mask ventilate and access the airway; it becomes all the more challenging when it is associated with thyrotoxicosis, tracheal invasion, lung metastases in a patient with poor cardiac function with coronary stent in situ. Here, we describe one such case report which highlights the challenges of such a case and emphasizes the calm, calculated approach of the attending anaesthesiologist for the successful management.
Keywords: Huge thyroid, difficult airway, tracheal invasion, pulmonary metastasis, coronary stent
