Multimodality Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring (IONM) During Shoulder Surgeries.

Conclusions: In this small series, we were able to identify real-time impending nerve injury. The use of IONM alerted and may have prevented intraoperative nerve injury in 30% of the patients in this series. In one patient, SSEP and TCeMEP did not recover even after the intervention due to severe blood loss. The patient woke up with sensory and motor deficits. The utilization of multimodality IONM can be helpful due to signal changes, therefore minimizing the frequency of nerve injury and deficits. PMID: 32298207 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
