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 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.

The measurement of brain wave activity, also known as an EEG, is a non-invasive test that records electrical patterns in your brain. This is done when you're asleep or in a coma, to help understand brain function and identify any abnormalities.

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 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 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.
