Before Your Surgery
Once you have discussed surgery with your physician, he/she may begin a discussion about intraoperative neuromonitoring of your case. Your surgeon will discuss the need for neuromonitoring of your case and what it will entail. If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact us and we would be happy to discuss this with you.
Day of Your Surgery
Before going into the operating room, you may meet your neuromonitorist on the day of surgery. They may take a quick medical history, perform a directed physical assessment, and have you complete some general paperwork (to include a consent for monitoring as well as an assignment of benefits). In most cases, after anesthesia sedates you, electrodes may be placed on your head, arms, and legs. These electrodes are hooked-up to our advanced monitoring system, which helps your neuromonitorist interpret the signals that your nervous system transmits.
During your surgery, when using intraoperative neuromonitoring your monitorist will provide feedback on the status of your nervous system to your surgeon and and surgical team. If anything changes, they will be able to react immediately and take measures to either reverse or mitigate any issues, thus maximizing your potential for a positive outcome. anesthesia provider. After the surgery is done, all of the monitoring electrodes will be safely removed and disposed of.
