Abstract

The recording of compound muscle action potentials (CMAPs) in response to spontaneous or electrically stimulated cranial nerve, spinal nerve, or ventral root activation is known as intraoperative electromyography (EMG) [1]. EMG is one of the most useful modalities for intraoperative monitoring (IOM). It is one of several methods of monitoring neurologic function, including the electroencephalogram, sensory evoked potentials, motor evoked potentials, transcranial Doppler ultrasound, cerebral oximetry, and jugular oxygen saturation [2].
