Intraoperative clinical neurophysiology

Neurophysiologic intraoperative monitoring (IOM) is increasingly used to help prevent damage to the nervous system during surgery. This text discusses all aspects of IOM with a hands- on approach to this challenging and exciting new frontier. Everything is covered from set-up, monitoring and mapping, troubleshooting, interpretation of results, and medical management. Interweaving contributions from neurologists and surgeons, the book presents a practical integrated blueprint for effective neurophysiological testing in the operating theater. With over 275 illustrations, numerous tables, and the most important clinical points made in writing and exemplified graphically, this book delivers in words and pictures everything one needs to know to master the art and science of intraoperative neurophysiologic procedure and reduce the operative risk of neurological damage in surgical patients.
