Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
2]:Hemodynamics (blood pressure and heart rate were recorded by noninvasive techniques)[[2]: Assessed 3 minutes after the thyroid surgery. ];[3]: Comfort of the patient using with patient reactivity score[[3]: Assessed 3 minutes after the thyroid surgery.];1]:The comparison of the evaluating of the vocal cords in the early postoperative period with The Bonfils intubation fiberscope (BIF) and the Macintosh laryngoscope was done with Cormach-Lehane score. The aim of this study is to compare the vocal cord imaging success of macintosh laryngoscope and BIF. [[1]: Assessed 3 minutes after the thyroid surgery.]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
[1]:Adverse events of the laryngoscopy procedure (the percentage of the adverse events were recorded. heart rate level below 50 per minute was recorded as bradycardia. The percentage of retching, damage to teeth and lips were also recorded).[[1]: Assessed 3 minutes after the thyroid surgery. ];[2]: Adverse events of the thyroid surgery (Cormach-Lehane score was used for evaluation of adverse events of tyhroid surgery)[(2): Assessed 3 minutes after the thyroid surgery.]
