Other laryngeal muscles such as the posterior cricoarytenoid muscle (PCA) are indirectly monitored. The PCA may be directly and reliably monitored through an electrode placed in the postcricoid region. Herein, we describe the method and normative data for IONM using PCA EMG.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Study Design<\/jats:title><jats:p>Retrospective review.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Data were reviewed retrospectively for thyroid and parathyroid surgery patients with IONM of laryngeal nerves from January to August 2016. Recordings of vocalis and PCA EMG amplitudes and latencies with stimulation of laryngeal nerves were obtained using endotracheal (ET) tube\u2010based and postcricoid surface electrodes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Data comprised EMG responses in vocalis and PCA recording channels with stimulation of the vagus, recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN), and external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve from 20 subjects (11 left, 9 right), as well as PCA EMG threshold data with RLN stimulation from 17 subjects. Mean EMG amplitude was 725.69\u2009\u00b1\u2009108.58 microvolts (\u00b5V) for the ipsilateral vocalis and 329.44\u2009\u00b1\u200934.12\u2009\u00b5V for the PCA with vagal stimulation, and 1,059.75\u2009\u00b1\u2009140.40\u2009\u00b5V for the ipsilateral vocalis and 563.88\u2009\u00b1\u2009116.08\u2009\u00b5V for the PCA with RLN stimulation. There were no statistically significant differences in mean latency. For threshold cutoffs of the PCA with RLN stimulation, mean minimum and maximum threshold intensities were 0.37 milliamperes (mA) and 0.84 mA, respectively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study shows robust and reliable PCA EMG waveforms with direct nerve stimulation.
