| Abstract: | Background Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) monitoring systems should be reliable and safe. Monitoring via electromyographical systems on an endotracheal tube (ETT) is widely spread. The MagStim™ system consists of an adhesive electrode to be fixed on an endotracheal tube. The Xomed™ endotracheal tube provides integrated electrodes. Reliability and side effects had never been compared. As both systems have very different morphological properties, we hypothesized that there might be differences in reliability and the incidence of side effects. |
