Brief summary

Titration of neuromuscular block (NMB) plays a key role in intraoperative recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring during thyroid surgery. Aim to titrate sugammadex dose based on neuromuscular block degree as a surgeon friendly protocol with high intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) quality.
