WHAT IS IOM?
-
IOM (Intraoperative monitoring) offers protection of neural tissues and organs (brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves) during surgery. IOM has been shown to be effective in reducing operative neurological complications in a variety of surgical procedures where neural structures are at risk.
-
Early irritation or impending injury can often be detected by measuring spontaneous or elicited (evoked) electrical signal produced by the nervous system or attached muscle group during surgery.
-
IOM has been shown to be effective in reducing operative complications in numerous types of surgery.
WHY USE IOM?
1. Increased safety of the surgical procedure.
IOM has been shown to play a significant role in reducing patient morbidity and mortality.
2. Increased ability to accommodate more complex cases.
IOM helps to identify new neurological impairment early enough to allow prompt correction of the cause. This "early warning" system provides surgeons with the comfort necessary to perform complex cases.
IOM guides the degree of surgical intervention and provides a means for assessing the likelihood of postoperative complications.
3. Decreased risk of adverse surgical outcomes.
