N2 - Intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring (IONM) is the technique whereby vital neurologic structures that could potentially be placed in harm’s way during the course of a surgical procedure are observed and closely followed for any signal changes. Neural structures elicit electrical potentials which with modern electrical equipment and computers amplify these signals such that they can be visualized and heard acoustically. Over the past several decades, great strides have been made in the field of IONM. Beginning with only somatosensory evoked potential monitoring for spinal surgery, the field has blossomed into a multi-modality approach for monitoring of various central nervous system tracts and peripheral nerve processes during a variety of surgeries to best protect all neural structures at possible risk during a particular surgery.
