Approximately 10 % of people suffer from laryngeal nerve injuries following thyroid or anterior cervical spine surgeries. Intermittent monitoring could miss a possible nerve injury. Thus, Continuous monitoring of these nerves by the surgeons is required to prevent nerve injuries.
With continuous monitoring damage to nerves can be prevented before it occurs, but until now an invasive method of monitoring is available which can further lead to surgical complications. The current article is an introduction to the novel non- invasive technique to monitor laryngeal and vagus nerve function while patients are under anesthesia during otolaryngology and neurosurgery procedures. In a one-of-its-kind study, Researchers from Mount Sinai have discovered a novel technique to monitor laryngeal and vagus nerve function during otolaryngology and neurosurgery procedures, while the patient is under…
