Symposium Objectives

At the completion of this symposium, participants should be able to:• Discuss the comprehensive principles for

conducting and interpreting intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring across multimodality applications of IONM

• Identify neuroanatomy and neurophysiology relevant to IOM

• Describe the principles and methods of recording and monitoring

• Develop an understanding of the elements for clinical decision making during IOM

• Develop an understanding of the basic aspects related to the business of IOM

Course Description

Experts from the international IONM community will examine common and important updates, including:• Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar & Sacral Spine

Surgery: A Surgeons Perspective• Interactive Data Analysis & Optimization SSEP/

EMG/TCeMEP: Multiple Sessions!• Spinal Instrumentation: Demonstration• Technical Troubleshooting and Optimization of

Waveforms: SSEP/EMG/TCeMEP • Literature Based Practice and IONM Alarm

Criteria: SSEP/EMG/TCeMEP • IONM Lab Accreditation: Policy & Procedure

Manual Must Haves • Documentation: Requirements & Recommendations
