Intraoperative stimulation monitoring in neurosurgery

This book is intended for neurologists and clinical neurophysiologists working or about to work in the neurosurgical operating room, but is also stimulating for other neurologists, neurosurgeons, ENT and anaesthesiologists and intensivists. A purposeful selection of modalities of stimulation responses with respect to the functions at risk, the way of their examination, the limits of normality and the way of reporting the three levels of abnormalities (information - warning - alarm) and the resulting instructions for the operator are presented. Ten chapters provide guidelines for technical safety and unobstructed recording, for monitoring in cancer, vascular and trauma conditions. The possibilities of intraoperative stimulation monitoring in epilepsy, aortic surgery and scoliosis surgery are mentioned. Postgraduate textbook.
