Course Description
This course provides intraoperative clinical experience for fourth year Neuroscience Technology students. Emphasis in this course will be on attending live surgeries to be acquainted with the intraoperative environment, sterile zone and the proper circulation in the OR. The course will focus on observing recording and stimulating electrode insertion and connection according to the setup. It will also acquaint the students with the methods to record reliable interpretable waveforms, mark waveforms and calculate, latencies, amplitudes of evoked potentials. The students will also practice methods to identify reduce noise in the OR, and safely handle electrodes. In addition, the students will be offered the possibility to revise and edit test setups, observe the important surgical setups and recognize the risky parts of surgery. The students will have the chance to learn the basics of communication between the surgeon, neurophysiologist and anesthesiologist and write a case report. Students will be divided into small groups to attend a procedure and each group will be supervised by a Clinical Instructor from the Neuroscience Technology Department.
