I just had a question related to personnel involved in intraoperative monitoring (IOM) for neurosurgery. What are your impressions/opinions of using intraoperative monitoring as a precautionary measure for neuroprotection? What personnel do u think are best suited to this task? (e.g., EEG/EP Techs vs. PhDs). Do you think IOM should be left to technicians that relay the information to the physician or should a PhD level clinician interpret the data and relay the recommendation(s) to the physician or should some combination/compromise of the previous two be made?
Additionally, have any of you found certain clinicians to be most proficient at IOM (i.e., EEG/EP Techs, audiologists, nurses, PAs, PhDs)?
Thanks for your time
