Abstract

Breathing is the voice's driving force and also acts as a regulator of larynx function and efficiency. Respiratory distress is a side effect of general anesthesia in thyroid surgery. Therefore, this study's objective was to provide practical and complementary information for voice recovery after thyroid surgery, based on aerodynamic evaluation pre- and post-thyroidectomy. From May 2014 to July 2015, aerodynamic evaluations were performed on 34 female patients diagnosed with thyroid papillary cancer one week before surgery (PRE), one month after surgery (P1), and three months after surgery (P3). The Phonatory Aerodynamic System (model 6600, KayPENTAX, USA) was employed for this purpose, and a total of 29 analysis parameters were selected. The results showed statistically significant differences in peak expiratory airflow (p=0.004), mean pitch (p<0.01), expiration airflow duration (p=0.001), and expiratory volume (p=0.018), based on time factors. In the comparison of time factors, peak expiratory airflow and mean pitch parameters were different in PRE-P1 and PRE-P3. Expiration airflow duration and expiratory volume parameters were different in PRE-P3 and P1-P3. The interaction effect of time and surgical range was significant only for expiratory volume (p=0.024). Female patients who undergo thyroidectomy require post-operative breathing training, and exhalation improvement is considered to reflect a positive lifestyle after surgery.

갑상선 수술 후 음성변화를 보이는 경우가 흔하며 신경손상의 성대마비부터 심인성 음성장애까지 그 증상은 복합적이고 다양하다. 대부분 자연적으로 회복을 보이지만 환자에게 회복시점에 대한 자세한 정보가 부족하다. 호흡은 음성을 만드는 동력이면서 동시에 후두 기능과 효율에 대한 조절자 역할을 하는데, 갑상선 암 수술의 전신마취 부작용으로 호흡기능 부조화를 유발할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 갑상선 수술 전후 공기역학적 검사결과를 추적하여 갑상선 수술 후 음성회복에 실제적이고 보완적인 정보를 제공하고자 한다. 2014년 5월부터 2015년 7월까지 갑상선 유두암으로 진단받고 수술 받은 환자를 대상으로 술전 1주일, 술후1개월, 술후3개월에 공기역학 검사를 실시하였다. 성대마비, 보청기 착용자, 항우울증약 복용자, 호흡기 질환자, 뇌졸중 병력자 및 임신 대상자는 제외시켜 최종 34명을 대상자로 선정하였다. 공기역학 검사는 PAS 기계를 사용하였고 분석변수는 총 29개이며, 시간요인에 따른 최고호기류율(p=0.004), 평균음도(p<0.01), 호기류지속시간(p=0.001), 호기량(p=0.018) 변수가 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 이때 시간요인의 대응비교에서 최고호기류율과 평균음도 변수는 술전-술후1개월, 술전-술후3개월 간 차이를 보였고, 호기류지속시간과 호기량 변수는 술전-술후3개월, 술후1개월-술후3개월 간 차이를 보였다. 시간과 수술범위의 교호작용 효과는 호기량 (p=0.024) 변수에서만 유의하였다. 갑상선절제술을 받은 여성군에서 최고호기류율과 평균음도 변수의 차이가 있으며 이는 수술 후 호흡훈련의 필요성이 있으며 호기류지속시간과 호기량 변수의 변화는 수술 후 긍정적 생활습관의 반영으로 여겨진다.
