Intra-Operative Monitoring: (EEG / EP / TCeMP / EMG)

Intra-operative Neurophysiology Monitoring (IONM) is the use of electrophysiological methods such as EEG, EMG, and evoked potentials (EP & TCeMP) to monitor the functional integrity of neural structures (brain, nerves, and spinal cord) during surgery.

The most common applications are in spinal surgery; some brain surgeries and carotid endarterectomies.

These methods can be used to localize neural structures, for example to locate cranial nerves during skull base surgery; to test function of these structures; and for early detection of intraoperative injury, allowing for immediate corrective measures.
