Effect of weight-adjusted intermediate-dose versus fixed-dose prophylactic anticoagulation with low-molecular-weight heparin on venous thromboembolism among noncritically and critically ill patients with COVID-19: the COVI-DOSE trial, a multicenter, randomised, open-label, phase 4 trial.

Background: Venous thromboembolism is a major complication of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We hypothesized that a weight-adjusted intermediate dose of anticoagulation may decrease the risk of venous thromboembolism COVID-19 patients.

Methods: In this multicenter, randomised, open-label, phase 4, superiority trial with blinded adjudication of outcomes, we randomly assigned adult patients hospitalised in 20 French centers and presenting with acute respiratory SARS-CoV-2.

Impact of rocuronium on intraoperative neuromonitoring vagal amplitudes during thyroidectomy.

Purpose: Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA) facilitate endotracheal intubation and reduce related laryngeal morbidity. However, NMBA interfere with intraoperative neuromonitoring amplitudes during thyroidectomy. The goal of this study was to evaluate the impact of rocuronium used for tracheal intubation on early intraoperative neuromonitoring vagal amplitudes observed during first thyroid lobe dissection.

Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Monitoring and Rocuronium: A Selective Sugammadex Reversal Protocol.

Background: The use of neuromuscular blocking agents may affect intraoperative neuromonitoring during thyroid surgery. A selective neuromuscular recovery protocol was evaluated in a retrospective cohort study during human thyroid neural monitoring surgery.

Methods: One hundred and twenty-five consecutive patients undergoing thyroidectomy with intraoperative neuromonitoring followed a selective neuromuscular block recovery protocol-single intubating dose of rocuronium followed by sugammadex if needed at the first vagal stimulation (V1).
