Abstract

Monitoring of the central nervous system is being utilized with increasing frequency during anesthesia and surgical management in patients undergoing procedures on the central nervous system (CNS). In such cases, IOM facilitates improved procedural management and patient outcome. A variety of techniques are available, each with specific uses.
