Neuromonitoring, short for neurophysiological monitoring, is a medical technique that involves real-time monitoring and recording of the electrical activity in the nervous system, particularly the brain and spinal cord. It is used during various surgical procedures to assess the function and integrity of neural structures, helping surgeons make informed decisions to minimize the risk of neurological damage.
Neuromonitoring is common used in surgeries involving the brain, spine, or peripheral nerves. This includes procedures like spinal surgery, various cranial procedures, vascular surgery, peripheral nerve surgery, and complex orthopedic procedures. It's particularly valuable in cases where neural structures are at risk and precise monitoring can help prevent neurological complications.
The GCIONM Program runs for 3 consecutive semesters. The first semester is didactic, while the following two are primarily clinical.
