Intraoperative neuromonitoring utilizes an array of complicated neurophysiological tests to ensure patient safety and multiple neurophysiological societies state that an appropriately trained doctor is expected to interpret those data generated during surgical procedures.  This role is filled by an overseeing board certified Neurologist who interprets these tests in real-time throughout surgical procedures and provides immediate feedback regarding the status of the patient’s nervous system to the surgeon.  This neurologist is in constant communication with the technologist in the OR and is able to communicate with the surgeon at any point.  Continuous, expert physician interpretation allows optimal and timely intervention to ensure the prevention of patient injuries.
