This book is a comprehensive, focused resource on intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IOM). This rapidly evolving field has created a demand for an up-to-date book such as this that builds on foundational concepts necessary to the practice of IOM in the context of anatomy and physiology. Each chapter is designed to not only inform the reader, but to also test the reader on the information presented - therefore promoting practical, problem-based learning.
Surpassing the quality of its successful predecessor, Principles of Neurophysiological Assessment, Mapping, and Monitoring, Second Edition, is positioned to suit the needs of residents and fellows studying for the IOM certificate programs, physicians and anesthesiologists practicing IOM, and neurotechnologists both experienced and in training.

Additional text
“This textbook can serve as a resource for both those seeking an introduction to the field and experienced practitioners. … the target audience of this book is broad and likely includes personnel who work infrequently in the operating room … . Overall, it is an excellent reference for an increasingly wide audience, from the novice to the expert.” (Michale Ok and John McAuliffe, Canadian Journal of Anesthesia, February 26, 2020)
