Updates on intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring

Abstract

Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) is known to monitor the functional integrity of the nervous system and reflect the existence of nerve injury through the application of various neurophysiological techniques to protect neural structures at risk. IONM also plays an important role in functional areas mapping and identification of specific nerves or structures. Though it becomes a widely used mature technology, there are still many problems need to be further discussed.
