Intraoperative Monitoring

Today, intra-operative monitoring is emerging as the gold standard of care for patients undergoing spinal surgery or neurosurgery. Surgeons, the surgical team and hospital administrators all recognize the need for and economic benefits of high-quality IOM.

American Intraoperative Monitoring END technologists are continuously collecting data obtained from your central nervous system throughout the procedure. This information is relayed to your surgeon during the surgical procedure. Our interpreting physician, who is located at a remote site, is able to observe and control the monitoring in real time during the procedure via a link to the on-site tech's computer. This technology allows for real-time, continuous intraoperative monitoring for the entirety of each surgery. American Intraoperative Monitoring is dedicated to making surgery a safer endeavor for each of our patients.

AIM uses the Protektor system, which is the leading-edge IOM system by XLTEK. The Protektor provides medical professionals with all the information necessary to make immediate and critical surgical decisions. By combining flexibility with multi-modality, the Protektor allows for the full spectrum of today's intra-operative monitoring techniques.
