neuromonitoring
Neuromonitoring is the collection and interpretation of techniques that assess the functional integrity of the nervous system and brain physiology in real time or near real time. It is used in neurosurgery, anesthesiology, and critical care to detect early signs of neural injury, guide treatment, and improve patient safety.
Intraoperative neuromonitoring, or IONM, uses electrophysiological signals to monitor motor and sensory pathways during procedures that
Noninvasive monitoring outside the operating room includes EEG for detecting seizures or assessing depth of anesthesia,
Interpretation of neuromonitoring data requires trained personnel. Artifacts from movement, electrical interference, or hemodynamic changes can
Overall, neuromonitoring aims to preserve neural function by providing timely information to clinicians during high-risk procedures
