Abstract

Background Recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy (RLNP) and hypoparathyroidism are complications of thyroid surgery. The convalescence can depend on several factors (ie, pain, fatigue, nausea, and vomiting). Supplemental oxygen improves inflammatory and immune function and decreases nausea and vomiting after surgical procedures. We have investigated whether supplemental perioperative oxygen administration could improve surgical outcomes in patients undergoing thyroid surgery.
