Tracheal intubation in the thyroid surgical position improves recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring: a dual-center randomized trial
Tracheal intubation in the thyroid surgical position significantly improves IONM signal quality and clinician satisfaction without increasing intubation difficulty or postoperative complications. Adopting this simple positioning strategy can optimize EMG tube placement and enhance the reliability of IONM during thyroid surgery.
