If the muscle relaxant used during surgery will affect the operation of RLN monitoring system.
during operation
Can RLN monitoring system accurately predict the function of RLN Can RLN monitoring system decrease the RLN palsy rate after thyroidectomy
early postoperation period
Can standardization of IONM procedures further lower the RLN palsy rate
early postoperation period
Dose IONM help to decrease the RLN palsy rate during difficult thyroid operations
early postoperation period
patients receive surgery will be intubated with Medtronic Xomed NIM EMG endotracheal tube and the device will be connected to the monitoring system 1. The channel leads from the NIM EMG reinforced endotracheal tube were connected to a NIM-response monitor 2. A Prass monopolar probe was used in direct contact with the vagus nerve and RLN for laryngeal nerve stimulation. 3. The stimuli were generated from the NIM-Response monitor for vagal and RLN stimulation. 4. The NIM-response monitor was set to run with a 50 millisecond time window and an amplitude scale at 0.2 mV/division. Event capture was activated with a threshold at 100 μV. Peak to peak amplitudes of evoked EMG activities were directly read on the monitor screen.
