The Intraoperative Neural Monitoring (IONM) breakout session is intended for both surgeons who are new to monitoring, and those currently monitoring. We will review basics of endotracheal tube placement, equipment setup and monitor settings. We will focus on proper monitoring techniques and ways of assuring that the endotracheal tube is in optimal position for monitoring. We will provide a review of pitfalls, problems and troubleshooting algorithms to all for accurate monitoring throughout the case. A video will be available to demonstrate IONM. All participants will be provided with a one page IONM setup algorithm. The session will conclude with a hands-on portion with endotracheal tubes, placement models and monitors.
