Intraoperative Neurophysiologic Monitoring

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 is an indispensable aid to neurosurgeons. The most up-to-date, comprehensive book in the field, this practical guide covers both basic and advanced methods, technologies, and procedures involved in measuring various neuroelectric potentials during surgical procedures. This book will be useful in carrying out an increasing number of operations, by explaining the physiological basis of IOM and the performance of IOM in neurologic patients.
