Neuromonitoring

Neuromonitoring refers to the practice of continuously observing and assessing the brain and nervous system's activity during medical procedures, particularly surgeries that may impact these areas. This monitoring helps healthcare professionals detect potential problems, such as nerve damage or changes in brain function, in real time. By using techniques like electromyography (EMG) and evoked potentials, neuromonitoring enhances patient safety and can guide surgeons in making decisions to preserve neurological function, ultimately improving outcomes and minimizing complications.
