Intraoperative Neuromonitoring for Cardiac Procedures 2022
Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) is not currently considered a standard of care for cardiothoracic procedures. This course will present evidence that there is good reason to consider using IONM in many specific cardiovascular procedures where patients have been identified as having an elevated risk for stroke.
Target Audience
This course is designed primarily for cardiac surgeons and other medical professionals who provide care for patients undergoing or recovering from cardiovascular surgery including cardiologists, family medicine practitioners, and PM&R physicians. It is also geared towards advanced professionals performing or involved in intraoperative neuromonitoring including, but not limited to, neurologists, anesthesiologists, board-certified neurophysiologists, and senior neurophysiology technologists.
Learning Objectives
Implementing IONM for at-risk patients requires collaboration and communication between multiple healthcare professionals including (but not limited to) surgeons and their staff, anesthesiologists, perfusionists, neurologists, stroke interventionalists, intensivists, and PM&R doctors. Systems need to be put in place for identifying at-risk patients, developing techniques to avoid intra-operative stroke, identifying intraoperative stroke, planning for treatment of intraoperative stroke, and postoperatively managing patients who have experienced intraoperative stroke.
