A Practical Approach to Neurophysiologic Intraoperative Monitoring
"With its 31 different specialists, including neurologists and neurosurgeons, the book addresses the main targets inneuromonitoring, including somatosensory evoked potentials, EEG, and other technologies that have recently become available that helped neurosurgeonsperform safer operations, with a lower incidence of morbidity and mortality. Because of its direct clinical applications, this is a good purchase for any neurological and neurosurgical library."--Doody's Reviews"This collection of 17 articles focuses on the practical,covering operating room procedures, basic NIOM techniques, remote monitoring and anesthetic considerations, billing procedures, legal and ethical issues,and available equipment. Contributors also describe NIOM in surgery of thevertebral column, spinal cord, tethered cord, peripheral nerves,cerebellopotine angle (microvascular decompression and tumor), thoracicaorta, carotid artery, and in cases of epilepsy-related surgery, selectivedorsal rhizotomy and lumbosacral surgery. Articles are well-illustrated and include step-by-step instructions for assembling an NIOM facility, managing its operations and conducting monitoring."--SciTech Book News"I would certainly recommend A Practical Approach to Neurophysiologic Intraoperative Monitoring to any technologist who monitors in the operating room."-Kimberly Ellis, American Journal of Electroneurodiagnostic Technology, September 2010 (SciTech Book News2010-05-03)
