Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IOM) enables a function-preserving surgical strategy for surgeries of brain or spinal cord pathologies by measurements. However, the IOM data management at neurosurgical institutions are often either not digitized inefficient in terms collecting, storing and processing data. Here, we describe development web application, called IOM-Manager, as first...

AIM Oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) is a minimally invasive surgical method that can access lumbar spine without direct dissection of psoas muscle and the need for intraoperative neuromonitoring (IOM) is questionable. The purpose of this study is to examine and document the transient and persistent perioperative complications in patients who underwent OLIF for degenerative lumbar diseas...

It has been suggested that the development of sickle RBC membrane defects might be related to abnormal amounts of membrane-associated heme (a term we use in its generic sense to include hemoglobins, hemichromes, and free heme). Techniques previously used to measure membrane heme, however, would not distinguish between what is truly membrane-associated and what is merely trapped in RBC ghost pre...

IOM predstavljaju jednu od tri najčešće lokalizacije svih bolničkih infekcija (BI). U SAD one čine 14–16% BI . Kod operisanih bolesnika u ovoj zemlji to su najčešće od svih BI i zastupljene su sa 38% . Stopa incidencije IOM u drugim razvijenim zemljama se kreće od 2,2 5 do 4% , dok u nerazvijenim zemljama, odnosno zemljama u kojima sistem nadzora nad BI kao i njihova prevencija i kontrola nisu ...

The IOM states that guideline developers should use a systematic review of the evidence, a tough but essential standard with the purpose to ensure that a guideline uses all of the evidence, not just that which supports the gui...

OBJECTIVES To determine associations between intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring (IOM) for spinal decompressions and simple fusions with neurologic complications, length of stay, and hospitalization charges. METHODS Adult discharges in the Nationwide/National Inpatient Sample (NIS) (2007-2012) with spinal decompressions and simple spinal fusions were included. Revision surgeries, instr...
