“…We are grateful for the interest in our article "Cardiac arrest with vagal stimulation during intraoperative nerve monitoring" 1 and appreciate the comments by Dr. Sclabassi et al 2 First, we would like to apologize for erroneously referring to the current of 1 mA as a voltage.…”

Intraoperative cardiac arrest etiologies in head and neck surgery: A comprehensive review

“…The underlying pathophysiologic mechanism was hypothesized to be increased by the parasympathetic output to the sinoatrial node via cardiac fibers of the vagus nerve due to IONM stimulation . Correspondence after this publication underlined the importance of the current amplitude, duration, and frequency of the postresection stimulus in avoiding such occurrences …”
