Intra Operative NeuroPhysiological Monitoring- IONM

Recent Research Report on Wave V of BAEPs! Intraoperative Erb's Point -Vertex recording increases brainstem auditory evoked potential wave V amplitude This study analyses whether an alternative noncephalic electrode positioned over ipsilateral Erb’s point, thereby generating a new Erb’s point-vertex recording derivation, improves BAEP recordings.

For CPT Coding and Billing, - a Search Engine for CPT code etc!, interesting!.

The risks are minimal but they are real, and when you are not using the advanced technology and knowledge available to assess and safeguard the patients from risks of nerve damage or paralysis, your care is flawed and pretty dangerous, if you can spent 25 thousands for surgery and do not use Neuromonitoring that might cost another thousand or two, and you think that is cost effective, then something wrong with such ideas. Bringing safety inside OR must be the top priority of an operating surgeon (performing surgeon). There are several vascular or neurological complications happen during spine surgical procedures that may not be identified timely if you do not use neuromonitoring techniques, and when you find out after the surgery, it is too late.   I agree with Professor Fessler, right views when it comes to the benefits and cost effectiveness of IONM. However, totally regard this is yet another Rat and Mice study that is irrelevant to the better care and safe outcome of surgerie

We are Seeking Funds for Clinical Neurophysiology technology: Do you know a Prospective Resource of funding?                  Image NINDS: A friend and colleague and I are working on developing newer technology and application oriented tests that can be utilized in the OR or outside the OR to detect brain damages of various kinds, it is still in the initial stages. Image: Link However, such research is an incredibly demanding and time consuming effort, we are looking for Funding. If anyone would be interested to fund such a innovative and modern Neurophysiological techniques whether an individual, philanthropist or entrepreneur, or Research Institute or IONM companies across US and other nations, let me know. It is going to be an exciting frontier within the brain and spine clinical area, so do let me know by email or post your contacts and background below this ad. If anyone knows funding sources, please make a comment here below with links or contacts. Many tha
