What is the benefit of having Biotronic neural monitoring technologists monitor surgery, as opposed to using an unattended monitoring system?
Our neural monitoring technologists at Biotronic have extensive skill and experience in neuromonitoring and can monitor a patient continuously throughout a procedure to make sure they do not suffer from brain, spinal cord, or nerve root damage. Unattended monitoring systems such as the NuVasive® NeuroVision JJB System and the Medtronic NIM-Spine System allow surgeons to monitor surgery directly, a convenient option. However, having a neural monitoring technologist present in the operating room to focus all their attention on continuously monitoring the patient, and having a certified professional available via remote neural monitoring to interpret the data and offer their expertise, may enhance the safety of the procedure, give the surgeon peace of mind, and further reduce the risk that the patient will sustain permanent neural damage following surgery. If a change in the patient’s condition does occur during surgery, a surgeon working with a knowledgeable team may be better equipped t
