Introduction to Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring for Anaesthetists

Abstract

There is growing evidence that intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring reduces neurological disability from surgery, but universal protocol and guideline for its use and interpretation are still lacking. The anaesthetist play an important role in evaluating the impact of anesthesia and physiology on IOM signals and optimising these factors intraoperatively. This tutorial discusses the IOM modalities that are commonly used and the multidisciplinary management of signal changes
