At EPIOM, we help patients stay safe during high-risk surgeries through IntraOperative Neurophysiological Monitoring, also known as IONM. This service monitors a patient’s nervous system in real time while they are in surgery. It plays a major role in preventing nerve injuries that could lead to problems after surgery.
When a surgeon operates near the brain, spine, or nerves, there is always a risk of damage. These areas are delicate, and even small changes can lead to serious issues like weakness, numbness, or loss of function. IONM helps reduce this risk by tracking how the nervous system is responding every second during the procedure.
Our trained technologists and board-certified neurologists watch for any changes in nerve activity. If something looks wrong, they immediately notify the surgical team. This quick action gives the team a chance to fix the problem before it becomes permanent.
Post-operative complications can include muscle weakness, nerve pain, or difficulty moving certain parts of the body. By using IONM, many of these problems can be avoided. It’s all about prevention and protecting the patient’s quality of life.
At EPIOM, we customize every monitoring plan to the specific surgery and patient. This makes the process more effective and ensures each patient gets the best care possible. Our goal is to help the surgical team keep patients safe before, during, and after surgery.
If you’re a hospital or surgical center looking for better outcomes, our IONM services are here to support you. Learn more at https://epiomneuro.com.
