Intraoperative monitoring modalities

Different procedures may call for different combinations of neurophysiological techniques.

〰

SSEP — Somatosensory Evoked Potentials

Monitors responses along selected sensory pathways and may help detect changes during surgery.

↗

MEP — Motor Evoked Potentials

Assesses selected motor pathways during procedures where motor function is at risk.

◉

EEG — Electroencephalography

Records electrical brain activity and may support selected cerebral monitoring strategies.

◇

Multimodal IONM

Combines appropriate techniques to provide complementary information during higher-risk procedures.

⊕

Cardiothoracic procedures

Potential monitoring support for selected complex aortic and cardiothoracic procedures.

⌁

Procedure planning

Modality selection and monitoring logistics depend on the case and the clinical team.

Monitoring is an adjunct to surgical and anesthetic care; no technique guarantees prevention of neurological injury. Services and clinical availability must be verified before launch.
