Neuromonitoring is a procedure for monitoring the functional state of the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, during the period of surgical intervention. Dr. Millço Demerxhiev, neurologist at the "Acibadem Sistina" clinical hospital, explains that the purpose of neuromonitoring is to monitor the function of the nervous system during surgical intervention, in order to reduce the risks of nerve tissue damage. Advantages of neuromonitoring Any surgical intervention, especially the non-surgical one, is a dangerous intervention, because unwanted damage to the nerve structures can be caused.
During the intervention, the surgeon cannot predict these injuries, since there is no clear overview of the operative field. Potential damage to neural structures is usually apparent after Nicaragua Email List surgery or after the patient wakes up, when it is actually too late to make any kind of correction. To prevent these consequences by means of neuromonitoring, the parts that control vital functions and movements can be distinguished, and their damage during the intervention can be prevented. How is it performed? Initially, the operation plan is made, in consultation with the surgeon, which part of the nervous system will be operated on. Before the operation, electrodes are placed in different places of the body, depending on the procedure to be performed.
These electrodes are placed in order to send electrical impulses through the body, by which nerve pathways are followed. Who uses the data? The neurologist follows these signals released by neuromonitoring during the intervention. At the same time, it informs the surgeon on which side he should operate and warns him if there is nerve tissue near the operative field, which controls the patient's vital functions and mobility. To which surgical interventions is it applied? All operations in which there is a risk of damage to nerve tissue are treated with neuromonitoring. More in neurosurgery, orthopedics, traumatology.
