IMP Physician Oversight
By admin January 7, 2017Bromedicon surgical cases are supervised and remotely monitoried by our team of physicians from our IMP group. The IMP Section of bromedicon is comprised of highly specialized nurologists with specific training and expertise in interoperative Monitoring. Remote monitoring and supervision by our neurologists offer another layer of protaction to the patient by providing real-time communication […]
Autotransfusions are by far the safest trnfusion option since the patient’s blood is used for the blood transfusion. Auto transfunction ensure that blood type is an exact match and eliminates the risk of infectious disease. Since all of the blood is the patient’s own, the risk of an allergic reaction is reduced dramatically.
SSEP
By admin December 21, 2016SSEP provide status readings about the spinal cord’s sensory function, mediated by the dorsal columns served by the posterior spinal arteries. With this technique, peripheral nerves in the upper and lower extremities are stimulated electrically, producing potentials from the brachial plexus, popleteal fossa, cervical spine and sensory cortex. Given their small size, these signals can […]
TCMEP
By admin December 23, 2016When corticospinal tracts are stimulated, the stimulation descends the spinal cord and Motor Evoked Responses are detectable. TCMEPs may take the form of transcranial MEPs, in which electrical impulses evoked by cranial stimulation are recorded in nerves or extremity musculature. The latter mode monitors anterior cord integrity. This modality also may take the form of […]
EMG
By admin January 5, 2017EMG infers specific nerve function by recording electrical impulses in upper and lower extremity muscles. Continuous Free-Run EMG detects compound muscle action potentials immediately pursuant to associated nerve root irritation or damage. Through nerve root stimulation or other irritation due to, for example, incorrect pedicle screw placement, triggered EMG produces a Compound Muscle Action Potential, […]
TCD
By adminUsed during certain vascular procedures to monitor cerebral blood flow. TCD works by insonating specific extracranial and intracranial arteries implemented in the various procedures including: Carotid Endarterectomies Cardiovascular Surgery Detection of cerebral Artery emboli Detection of vasospasm
EEG
By adminEEG/ICU – Electroencephalography in Intensive Care Units. EEG/ICU is used for brain function monitoring of non-convulsive seizures, non-convulsive status epilepticus, and anesthesia effects in medically induced coma patients. For example, treatment of refractory seizures or increased intracranial pressure and secondary brain damage in conditions such as subarachnoid hemorrhage. EEG/CSA – Electroencephalography with a Compressed Spectral […]
BAEP
By adminBAEP are sensory responses produced when the brain processes or transmits auditory stimuli. Like the evoked responses tracked by the SSEP modality, these impulses are minute and commonly lost in background electrical activity. Scores of signals are gathered from sterile subdermal needle electrodes in the scalp and averaged while filtering out background electrical activity. Response […]
ECOG
By adminECoG, also referred to as Intracranial EEG (iEEG) or Subdural EEG (sdEEG), intraoperatively records potentials from the cortical surface. It is used as part of an evaluation for epilepsy surgery, where electrodes may be placed near the surface of the brain. Depth electrodes may also be placed into brain structures which are common epileptic foci […]
