Veronica O Busso et al. Paediatr Anaesth. 2014 Jul.

Abstract

The use of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) in pediatric neurosurgery is not new; however, its application to a wider range of procedures is a relatively new development. The purpose of this article is to review the physiology underlying the commonly employed IONM modalities and to describe their application to a subset of pediatric neurosurgical procedures.

Keywords: auditory brainstem evoked response; corticospinal tract; electromyography; intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring; motor evoked potentials; somatosensory evoked potentials.
