Continuous intraoperative neurophysiology monitoring is a service where a specialist oversees your nervous system's function during surgery, from a nearby or remote location. This is done every 15 minutes and is focused solely on you. It helps ensure surgical safety by identifying any potential nervous system changes promptly.

This service was performed 1,105 times for 325 patients

Measurement of brain wave activity (eeg) outside the brain during surgery

An EEG (Electroencephalogram) during surgery monitors brain activity. Electrodes on the scalp record brain wave patterns, helping doctors ensure the brain is functioning normally throughout the procedure.

This service was performed 285 times for 282 patients

Needle measurement of electrical activity in arm or leg muscles, 1 extremity

This procedure, known as an Electromyogram (EMG), measures electrical activity in your arm or leg muscles. A small needle is inserted into the muscle to record electrical signals. It helps diagnose muscle or nerve disorders. Minimal discomfort may be experienced.

This service was performed 50 times for 50 patients

Needle measurement of electrical activity in arm or leg muscles, 2 extremities

This procedure, known as an electromyography (EMG), involves inserting a small needle into your arm or leg muscles to measure their electrical activity. It helps diagnose conditions affecting nerves or muscles. It's generally painless, though you may feel some discomfort.

This service was performed 148 times for 147 patients

Needle measurement of electrical activity in arm, leg, trunk or head muscles, limited study

This procedure, known as an electromyography (EMG), involves using a needle to measure electrical activity in your muscles. It can help diagnose conditions affecting nerves or muscles. It's a limited study, meaning only specific muscles in the arm, leg, trunk, or head are examined.

This service was performed 95 times for 67 patients

Placement of skin electrodes and measurement of central motor stimulation in arms and legs

This procedure involves placing small patches (electrodes) on your skin over your arms and legs. These electrodes send harmless electrical signals to your muscles. The response is measured to assess the health and function of your nerves and muscles.

This service was performed 166 times for 166 patients

Placement of skin electrodes and measurement of stimulated sites on arms and legs

This procedure involves placing small pads (electrodes) on your arms and legs. These electrodes send gentle electric signals to specific areas, and the responses are measured. This helps assess the health of your nerves and muscles.

This service was performed 308 times for 306 patients

Testing of nerve-muscle junction

Testing of the nerve-muscle junction, also known as Electromyography (EMG), is a diagnostic procedure to evaluate the health of muscles and the nerve cells that control them. It involves a small device detecting electrical activity from your muscles to identify potential issues.

This service was performed 17 times for 17 patients
