Monitoring the brain and spinal cord.
Advances in monitoring technology, as presented elsewhere in this volume, have also occurred in monitoring to the brain and spinal cord. These techniques have created the opportunity to explore function and prognosis in patients who otherwise are unable to participate in a neurologic examination. This chapter overviews the anatomy, technology, and applications of several of these techniques. Be...
متن کاملSpinal cord monitoring in operations for neuromuscular scoliosis.
We reviewed retrospectively the role of monitoring of somatosensory spinal evoked potentials (SSEP) in 99 patients with neuromuscular scoliosis who had had operative correction with Luque-Galveston rods and sublaminar wiring. Our findings showed that SSEP monitoring was useful and that a 50% decrease in the amplitude of the trace optimised both sensitivity and specificity. The detection of true...
متن کاملIntraoperative spinal cord monitoring for intramedullary surgery: an essential adjunct.
Intraoperative monitoring of the functional integrity of the spinal cord during removal of intramedullary spinal cord lesions is an aid in intraoperative decision making and a primary tool for the prediction of neurological outcome. Motor evoked potential monitoring has become the neurophysiological monitoring technique of choice for that purpose. In the senior author's experience with over 130...
متن کاملOptical Monitoring and Detection of Spinal Cord Ischemia
Spinal cord ischemia can lead to paralysis or paraparesis, but if detected early it may be amenable to treatment. Current methods use evoked potentials for detection of spinal cord ischemia, a decades old technology whose warning signs are indirect and significantly delayed from the onset of ischemia. Here we introduce and demonstrate a prototype fiber optic device that directly measures spinal...
متن کاملMultimodal Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring in Spinal Cord Surgery.
AIM Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) monitors the functional integrity of critical neural structures by electrophysiological methods during surgery. Multimodality combines different neurophysiological methods to maximize diagnostic efficacy and provide a safety margin to improve the outcomes of spinal surgery. Our aim was to share our intraoperative monitoring experiences wit...
