57 Year Old female with goiter and thyrotoxicosis

This 57 year olf lafy presented with neck swelling, anxiety and tremor. Her medical information is attached below: We need to take a decision on this lady. To operate or not to operate.

He has a barrel shaped chest and his CXR pa shows pushed down diaphragms. He was referred from a nursing home on a ventilator ambulance and his ABG during admission was showing a PCO2 of 90. After 24 hours of ACMV with a RR of 20 and tidal volumes of 400 ml his PCO2 increased to 120s.  This case of AECOPD with resp.
