Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring services (IONM) assesses neurological function involving the brain, spinal cord and related nerve structures during such surgeries.
Acording to Impulse Monitoring, use of IONM facilitates the surgical process and can reduce surgical risk by providing alerts to surgeons of potential harm to spinal cord or neural structures.
Wendy Rosher, vice president of clinical services at Ellis Hospital, said: “Ellis Hospital’s use of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring services reflects our ongoing commitment to patient safety. The advanced technology will support our skilled neurosurgery team to help ensure the safest, most positive outcomes possible for our patients during the most delicate of procedures.”
