- Intraoperative monitoring (IOM) provides critical information that can enhance surgical decision-making during procedures, but its effectiveness depends on the accuracy and clarity of the data presented.
- The reliability of IOM heavily relies on the troubleshooting skills and attentiveness of the IOM staff, which affects the surgeon's trust in the monitoring process.
- The article discusses the role of IOM, particularly in deep brain stimulation (DBS) for movement disorders, highlighting how a surgeon's personal experience and interpretation of IOM data can influence its effectiveness.
Article Abstract
Intraoperative monitoring (IOM) adds new information to intraoperative surgical decision-making. When presented clearly and accurately, it can help guide decision processes during the procedure, but can be a detriment overall if the information is inaccurate or misleading. Troubleshooting abilities and vigilance of the IOM staff play a large role in bolstering the level of trust a surgeon develops in IOM. Additionally, a surgeon may impart his own interpretation and experience with this new information that can undermine or enhance its impact on the case. In this article, we explore these issues with IOM in general and as they relate to the special context of DBS for movement disorders.
