About this study

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.
