Inhaltsangabe

Covering both the applications and the related theory, A Concise Guide to Intraoperative Monitoring provides a general but comprehensive introduction to IOM. Unlike existing texts that typically report the results of specific studies, this book presents comprehensive coverage of the entire procedure, as well as the specific protocols used in hospital practice, examples of typical recordings, possible problems, and recommended solutions. At the end of each chapter the author poses several questions for review. These questions help technologists and medical residents in their preparation for the board exams. Taken together, these features make the book an ideal reference or training manual.

A Concise Guide to Intraoperative Monitoring begins by discussing the basic principles underlying the generation of bioelectrical signals. It then describes the electronic equipment and the various electrophysiological procedures involved in IOM. From this foundation, the book gradually advances to more specific topics, such as surgical procedures, neuronal structures at risk, the optimum combinations of tests to administer, and the proper interpretation of test results. The material
also provides you with a background on general anesthesia and analyzes the effects of various drugs on electrophysiological recordings. A Concise Guide to Intraoperative Monitoring also discusses the proper placement of stimulation and recording electrodes, as well as intervention strategies and equipment troubleshooting.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The use of electrophysiological recordings to assess the functional integrity of the nervous system during surgery is gradually becoming part of standard medical practice. This book provides a general but comprehensive introduction to intraoperative monitoring. It includes pictures and drawings that show the exact placement of stimulation and recording electrodes, and contains tables that show exact stimulation and recording parameters and the detailed effects of anesthetic agents on neurophysiological signals. It offers examples of normal recordings and presents discussion of problems that can occur during surgery along with the corresponding abnormal recordings.
