The NASS PodcastSection on IONM: How to Optimize Neuromonitoring Episode 12[12 of 12]
Section on Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring (IONM) Section Co-Chairs Dr. Rich Vogel and Dr. Adam Doan discuss the question, “Are wakeups always prolonged with neuromonitoring under TIVA?”
It’s a common complaint: we use TIVA for MEPs, but the patients take forever to wake up from anesthesia. To combat this problem, many surgeons elect to discontinue IONM earlier in the procedure. Did you know IONM has the technology to guide the anesthesia team through a faster wakeup in most cases? It requires communication and collaboration, but it’s easy to do. Here we review these techniqu...

Aside from checking wires and anesthesia, what else works? It turns out there is a lot one can do to restore signals. Here the Co-Chairs review these checks and interventions.

Section on Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring (IONM) Section Co-Chairs Dr. Rich Vogel and Dr. Adam Doan discuss, "Diagnostic accuracy of IONM from the neurophysiologist’s perspective."
They review the traditional diagnostic table (i.e., ± alert, ± deficit) and consider other factors like intervention, resolution of data, type of monitoring modality, etc. They also present an advanced diagnostic table that is inclusive of these factors. This has major implications for developing and interpreting research.

Section on Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring (IONM) Section Co-Chairs Dr. Rich Vogel and Dr. Adam Doan discuss the question, “Is it really an alert? Whence the criteria?”
The criteria for calling an alert in IONM have evolved over the years and many people don’t know what the latest research says. This causes a lot of false positives (and some false negatives). We review what really constitutes an alert and how you can use IONM to improve accuracy.
