Neuromonitoring Techniques

Neuromonitoring techniques involve measuring and assessing the brain's activity during medical procedures, primarily surgeries. These techniques help ensure the nervous system remains intact and functioning properly. Common methods include electroencephalography (EEG), which records electrical activity in the brain, and evoked potentials, which measure the brain's response to stimuli. Neuromonitoring provides real-time feedback to surgeons, helping them avoid potential damage to critical areas, ultimately improving patient safety and outcomes. It plays a vital role in surgeries involving the spine, brain, and nerves, enhancing overall surgical effectiveness.
