How much experience will the person who is monitoring my spinal cord function have?
At Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, the technician who performs neurological monitoring is extremely experienced, and specializes in this type of anesthesia. The operating room equipment is connected by high speed wiring to a central command center. A specially trained medical doctor monitors the operation with the technician. Any observed changes in the monitoring are quickly relayed from the control room to the operating room for confirmation.
