Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) consists of the continuous analysis of the patients’ neurological status using a set of tools and methods that allows us to assess the functional state of the neurological systems and pathways of interest. Different techniques, such as somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs), motor evoked potentials (MEPs), and others are employed according to the type of surgery and neurological tissue to be monitored.
