Neurophysiological intraoperative monitoring is needed to protect patients during brain and spine surgery. Our neural monitoring technologists will work to reduce the risk of neural injury, keeping your patients safe.
At Biotronic, we work with hospitals and surgeons to provide safe, reliable neuroprotection services during brain and spine surgery procedures.
At Biotronic, our clinicians or neurophysiologists are highly skilled and educated. Each neurophysiologist has Certification in Neurophysiological Intraoperative Monitoring (CNIM).
We offer a complete array of electrophysiology services and monitoring modalities during brain and spine surgery. In addition to having one of our experienced neural monitoring technologists in the operating room, we also have off-site clinical supervision.
At Biotronic, Dr. H.B. Calder and his staff offer neuroprotection services during brain and spine surgeries to protect patients against permanent neural damage.
For patients preparing for brain or spine surgery, this patient information section may help you to better understand neurophysiologic intraoperative monitoring.
Neuromonitoring is required for brain and spine surgeries, procedures that put the neural system at risk. Learn more about the surgeries that require monitoring, the structures at risk, and the monitoring modalities typically used for each procedure.
At Biotronic, we use neurophysiological monitoring equipment in the operating room as well as remote neural monitoring, also called remote supervision, to effectively reduce the patient's risk of neural injury during brain and spine surgery.
Biotronic offers somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP) monitoring during spine surgery to ensure the posterior columns of the spinal cord are not impaired.
Electromyography (EMG) provides feedback on the status of lumbar and cranial nerves, as well as peripheral nerves and spinal nerve roots during spine surgery. If you need neurophysiological intraoperative monitoring for a surgical procedure, Biotronic can help.
Our neural monitoring technologists will perform an electroencephalogram (EEG) test using monitoring equipment during carotid endarterectomy and other surgical procedures to detect changes in electrical activity in the brain.
Transcranial motor evoked potentials (TcMEP) are used during orthopedic spine, scoliosis surgery, and neurosurgery. When you need neural monitoring services, Biotronic can help.
At Biotronic we use visual evoked potentials (VEP) to test a patient's vision during surgery. By stimulating each eye with a flashing light, our neural monitoring technologists can determine whether or not a patient's vision is at risk.
Auditory evoked potentials (AEP) monitor the auditory nerves during surgery to prevent permanent hearing loss or nerve damage during procedures that put the auditory brainstem and the eighth cranial nerve at risk.
Cortical mapping, used during brain surgery, identifies the language, motor, and sensory areas of the cortex. This information is used by the surgeon so as to avoid damage to these sensitive areas.
If your patient has Parkinson's disease and needs treatment, our neural monitoring technologists are skilled in deep brain stimulation and can provide them relief from the disorder.
