What will the Electroneurodiagnostic (END) Technologist do during my surgery?
The END Technologist will consult with your surgeon prior to surgery to verify the type of surgery you will be having and which type of monitoring is indicated. The END Technologist will then meet you prior to surgery to apply the necessary monitoring equipment. After this, the surgery will commence as usual while the END Technologist remains present in the operating room to respond to the monitoring results. The findings are always reported to the surgeon and the supervising electrodiagnostic physician. Please note the the END Technologist will not perform any part of your surgery and will not interfere with your procedure in any way.
