Intraoperative neurophysiological Monitoring Increase Patient’s Safety during Complicated Surgery
Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) is gaining a great deal of popularity in the field of neurosurgery. It is a medical technique that uses recordings such as EEG and EMG from the nervous system during surgery. Intraoperative neuromonitoring uses two-dimensional MRI techniques to measure the function of motor nerves, such as those that control the hand and feet. It is not limited to neurology, however, they are also used in rehabilitation facilities and intensive care units. The key characteristic of IONM that distinguishes it from other neuroimaging modalities due to its high level of intra-and inter-observer reliability. Both intra-operator reliability and inter-observer reliability are significant to the clinical utility of IONM. Intra-operator reliability is an important factor in determining the accuracy of IONM results. key characteristic of IONM that distinguishes it from other neuroimaging modalities due to its high level of intra-and inter-observer reliabilit...
