Intra-operative neurophysiological monitoring
Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring has achieved importance due to complexity of cranio-spinal surgical procedures being performed frequently these days. Many studies have proven a decreased neurological complication rate after its introduction.

Effects of intravenous methylprednisolone on intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring during spinal cord tumor surgery: a case report [PDF]
In spinal cord tumor surgery, muscle motor-evoked potentials (mMEPs) and direct wave (D-wave) have been used to predict neurological outcomes. A severe deterioration of mMEPs in the presence of intact D-wave may indicate temporary postoperative weakness.

Intraoperative Brain Mapping by Cortico-Cortical Evoked Potential
To preserve postoperative brain function, it is important for neurosurgeons to fully understand the brain's structure, vasculature, and function. Intraoperative high-frequency electrical stimulation during awake craniotomy is the gold standard for ...

The feasibility and applications of non-invasive cardiac output monitoring, thromboelastography and transit-time flow measurement in living-related renal transplantation surgery : results of a prospective pilot observational study [PDF]
Introduction: Delayed graft function (DGF) remains a significant and detrimental postoperative phenomenon following living-related renal allograft transplantation, with a published incidence of up to 15%. Early therapeutic vasodilatory interventions have

Additional applications of intraoperative cerebral oxygenation monitoring using near infrared spectroscopy. [PDF]
One of the major goals of intraoperative care is the maintenance of adequate cardiac output and delivery of oxygen to the tissues. Standard intraoperative monito- ring includes the non-invasive measurement of blood pressure (NIBP) and the use of pulse ...
