NCT02377882

Brief Summary

The investigators tried to explore an alternative non-depolarizing muscle relaxant (rocuronium) and its optimal dosage to replace succinylcholine for IONM during thyroid surgery.Time frame of outcome measure was during 30 to 70min after rocuronium injection. Specific time points at which the will be assessed and for EMG signals will be presented.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The time to detect V1 and V2 signals

    V1 signal means an EMG signals obtained from the vagus nerve before identification of RLN. V2 signal-The final testing of the vagus nerve EMG signals was performed after complete hemostasis of the operative field. The amplitude (μV) of V1 and V2 signals and the correlated degree of neuromuscular transmission (% TW) were recorded and analyzed.

    WITHIN 2 DAYS, follow up to 6 months
