Summary
In recent years, the application of intraoperative recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring in
thyroid surgery has greatly reduced the complications of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury.
The use of intraoperative neurological monitoring requires the reduction of the dose of
neuromuscular blockade, which often leads to muscle tremors during the application of
electrical energy, which affects the fine separation around the muscles. This study explored
the effect of local application of lidocaine on reducing muscle tremor during surgery and its
optimal dose.
