The EMG Endotracheal Tube is designed to monitor electromyographic (EMG) signals from the vocal cords during thyroid surgery.
This flexible endotracheal tube is fitted with four stainless steel cable electrodes (two pairs) embedded in the main shaft of the endotracheal tube, and exposed only for a short distance, slightly superior to the cuff, for contacting the vocal cords. The electrodes are designed to make contact with the patient's vocal cords to facilitate electromyographic (EMG) monitoring of the vocal cords during surgery of the neck when connected to an EMG monitoring device. The tube allows the tube to conform readily to the shape of the patient's trachea with minimal trauma to tissues.
The EMG Endotracheal Tube is used as a means of providing both an open airway for patient ventilation and for intraoperative monitoring of EMG activity of the intrinsic laryngeal musculature when connected to an appropriate EMG monitor.
The tubes are designed to make contact with the patient's vocal cords to facilitate electromyographic (EMG) monitoring of the vocal cords during surgery. The neuromonitor endotracheal tube is connected to a suitable neuromonitor to provide an unobstructed airway for the patient to ventilate and can also be used as a tool for intraoperative monitoring of nerve activity in the internal laryngeal muscles.
Compared with traditional thyroid surgery, common surgical risks are largely avoided. Surgical complications such as hoarseness, drinking cough, and facial convulsions were reduced by using the advanced nerve probe needle.
