title: Intraoperative neural monitoring. An introduction for perioperative nurses.
abstract: Intraoperative neural monitoring is a new science with many potential applications. Anesthesia providers, audiologists, neurophysiologists, and neurologists use intraoperative monitoring to make patient care decisions in the OR. Perioperative nurses' knowledge of anesthesia, anatomy, physiology, surgical procedures, monitoring technology, and electrode application contributes to successful intraoperative monitoring, as does collaboration by the entire surgical team.
