Continuous intraoperative nerve monitoring in thyroidectomy using automatic periodic stimulation in 256 at-risk nerves. [PDF]
Introduction Automatic periodic stimulation of the vagal nerve during thyroidectomy provides real-time feedback of recurrent laryngeal nerve function intraoperatively. To assess the validity of this device, the ability of monitoring to predict recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy was determined and the incidence of recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy recorded ...

Efficacy of a Quantitative Intra‐Operative Facial Nerve Continuous Monitoring System for Functional Preservation Following Intratemporal Facial Nerve Schwannoma Resection [PDF]
Objective Preservation of the facial nerve is critical in surgery for facial nerve schwannoma. Intra‐operative monitoring systems typically assess facial nerve function by delivering intermittent electrical stimulation through electrodes; however, this ...

Ultrasound-guided phrenic nerve block for intraoperative persistent hiccups: a case report
Background Continuous hiccups during surgery not only affect the surgical procedure, they can also cause adverse effects for the patient. Apart from active investigation of the cause of the hiccups, their timely termination is also necessary.

Intraoperative neural electrode for continuous monitoring of nerve function
Nerve damage is still a major concern in all types of surgery and may result in permanent nerve injury. Real time nerve monitoring can reduce the risk of nerve lesions by continuous surveillance of nerve integrity. A stable proximal stimulation of the nerve and recording at the effector organ is essential and the electrodes should not significantly ...

Perioperative management of a patient with retrosternal giant goiter and Gitelman syndrome: a case report [PDF]
BackgroundGitelman syndrome is an autosomal recessive renal tubular disorder caused by mutations in the SLC12A3 gene, with the pathogenic mechanism being impaired function of the thiazide-sensitive sodium-chloride cotransporter.
