Thyroid Intra-Operative Injury Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Improvement of Intraoperative Neuromonitoring of Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve During Thyroid Surgery
Objectives: The use of neuromuscular blocking agent may interfere with the function of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) in thyroid surgery.
An enhanced neuromuscular-blockade (NMB) recovery protocol was investigated in a clinically applied during thyroid neural monitoring surgery. In as subsequent clinical application study, 60 patients who underwent thyroidectomy with IONM followed an enhanced NMB recovery protocol- rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg at anesthesia induction and sugammadex 2 mg/kg at operation start. Train-of-four (TOF) ratio was used for continuous quantitative monitoring of neuromuscular transmission. ;
