Course Description
The course provides knowledge about the various neurophysiological techniques used in intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring. It acquaints the students with the use of free run and triggered EMG for monitoring cranial and peripheral nerves. It introduces the students to the use of somatosensory evoked potentials and motor evoked potentials in monitoring the long tracts during surgery. It also provides knowledge about the intraoperative applications of EEG and brainstem auditory evoked potentials. The students will understand the effects of different anesthetics, and physiological on neurophysiological signals and will be informed about the different technical, and safety issues related to the operating room. The course will include a lab.
