Training activity information
Details
Complete a risk assessment for a specified patient who requires intraoperative neuromonitoring for spinal surgery considering the patient’s clinical history and all relevant pre-operative findings. To include patients that require:
- Intraoperative somatosensory evoked potentials
- Intraoperative motor evoked potentials
- Free-running and triggered electromyography
Type
Developmental training activity (DTA)
Evidence requirements
Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee.
Reflection on the activity at one or more time points after the event including learning from the activity and/or areas of the trainees practice for development.
An action plan to implement learning and/or to address skills or knowledge gaps identified.
Considerations
- Standard theatre protocols
- Infection control in theatres
- Health and safety guidelines
- Risks and benefits of intraoperative neuromonitoring
- Factors to mitigate risk
- Cost implications
- Spinal pathologies requiring intraoperative neuromonitoring
- Somatosensory and motor evoked potential recording during intraoperative neuromonitoring
- Recording electromyographic potential during intraoperative neuromonitoring
- Equipment required to record somatosensory and motor evoked potentials including peripheral devices
