Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring closer to neurosurgeon Perspective

Abstract

Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring helps Neurosurgeons, Orthopedics and Anesthesiologists to achieved better post-surgical outcomes. Here I encompass some very important aspects that in my opinion Neurosurgeons should not be missed if a correct monitoring is expected. Some variables that can enrich Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring are mentioned, like Communication, Video surgery, Neuronavigation, Tractography and Wave classification criteria. Particularities, strength and weakness of neurophysiologic modalities are considered. I also considered what I have learned working inside operating room.
