Abstract

The nervous system can easily be examined in an awake patient; by clinical examination, electrophysiologic methods and MRI. It is difficult to elicit all the information by routine methods under anaesthesia and in an unconscious / brain injured patient. Proper monitoring of nervous system during surgery can reduce neural injury related to surgery or positioning. Similarly it can help improve outcome in patients with neuronal injury.
