Does IONM Help the Anesthesiologists?
Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) is the standard of care during many spinal, vascular, and intracranial surgeries. High-quality perioperative care requires the communication and cooperation of several multidisciplinary teams. One of these multidisciplinary services is intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM), while other teams represent anesthesia and surgery. Given the importance of team performance in patient safety, understanding and communicating the factors affecting IONM modalities has assumed a greater level of importance recently. Effective communication and adoption of standardized tools and behaviors is essential for the delivery of high-quality, safe patient care, especially during the critical situations that arise when neuromonitoring signals are severely compromised Effective communication and adoption of standardized tools and behaviors is essential for the delivery of high-quality, safe patient care, especially during the critical situations that arise when neuromonitoring signals are severely compromised Free download of the article available at http://www.joacp.org/article.asp?issn=0970-9185;year=2018;volume=34;issue=1;spage=84;epage=93;aulast=Tewari
