a patient is recovering from a thyroidectomy. which observation needs to be reported immediately to the health-care provider?
bija089 [108]

If there is any change in the voice tone of a patient who is recovering from thyroidectomy needs to be reported immediately to the health care provider.

What is thyroidectomy?

It is a surgical removal of all or part of the thyroid gland which is located in front of the neck. It is a surgery with serious risks and potential complications.

Thyroidectomy is performed when there is thyroid cancer, and thyroid nodules. Thyroid hormone should be provided once after the thyroidectomy to keep the body's function in balance.

Assessing for damage to the laryngeal nerve is also a priority in the postoperative period following thyroidectomy. Changes in voice quality, particularly hoarseness or a husky tone, may be indicative of laryngeal nerve damage.

Let us discuss other options :

  • Hypoactive bowel sounds could be caused by general anesthesia.
  • Blood pressure of 138/70mmHg could be within normal limits for this patient.
  • Postoperative pain would be expected in the perioperative period.

Hence, we should record the change in voice tone after a patient has undergone thyroidectomy.
