Abstract

Various intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) helps in assessing
the integritry of neural pathways during the surgical treatment. IONM is an
assistive tool to preserve the fuction of brain, brainstem, cranial nerve, spinal
cord and peripheral nerves and a great assest for neurosurgeons. Different
application of IONM includes: MEP, SSEP, ABR, VEP, BCR and AMR. Intraoperative
neuromonitoring has become an integral part of the neurosurgery and is being
routinely used in various operative cases. This paper discusses the application and
benefit of IONM, with its role in delivering a high quality intra operative care to
detect and prevent neurological deficits.
