Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) refers to the continuous assessment of nervous system function during surgery using a variety of specialized neurophysiologic tests and measures. The purpose of IONM is to provide the surgical team with information about impending adverse changes in nervous system function, so that timely corrective action can be taken to reduce the risk of lasting injury.
