Intraoperative Neurophysiologc

The field of intraoperative monitoring (IOM) has expanded geometrically in recent years, as it has been shown to be an effective way to reduce neurological deficits and thus should be a useful guide to neurosurgeons. This practical guide covers both basic and advanced methods, technologies and procedures involved in measuring various neuroelectric potentials during surgical procedures. It should be useful in carrying out an increasing number of operations, by explaining the physiological basic of IOM and the performance of IOM in neurologic patients.
