Abstract
The purpose of this case series report is to demonstrate the current state of the art regarding tracheal intubation of an evoked electromyography-endotracheal tube (EMG-ET tube) for continuous intraoperative recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring (IONM) in patients undergoing thyroid surgery. Both direct laryngoscopy (DL) and videolaryngoscopy (VL) are popular for routine tracheal intubation of an EMG-ET tube. A new intubating technique (styletubation), using a video-assisted intubating stylet (VS), provides less traumatic and swift intubation. Styletubation combined with VL ensures the precise placement of the EMG-ET tube. This novel intubation technique improves the outcome of intubating an EMG-ET tube for IONM.
