Description
Covering both the applications and the related theory, A Concise Guide to Intraoperative Monitoring provides a general but comprehensive introduction to IOM. Unlike existing texts that typically report the results of specific studies, this book presents comprehensive coverage of the entire procedure, as well as the specific protocols used in hospital practice, examples of typical recordings, possible problems, and recommended solutions. At the end of each chapter the author poses several questions for review. These questions help technologists and medical residents in their preparation for the board exams. Taken together, these features make the book an ideal reference or training manual.
Reviews
This book is full of small and large mistakes: “debulging” tumors (for “debulk”); “bare hugger” (for Bair Hugger); it states that the middle cerebral artery is part of the posterior circulation, which is a ridiculous mistake showing a very poor understanding of cerebral circulation (the posterior circulation comes from vertebral and basilar arteries; the anterior circulation is everything that comes off the carotid). The outrageously controversial claim that “dermatomal SSEP’s” routinely improve during surgery is made as if it were fact, with no evidence offered. There are lots of pictures, but very few of them are of actual waveforms.
