Intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring during cardiac surgery: an observational cohort study

Open Heart

Patients with IONM were more likely to have had baseline cerebrovascular disease (60% vs 22%). IONM may serve as a biomarker of cerebral ischaemia, and empirical adjustments based on changes may provide benefits for neurologic outcomes in high-risk patients. Patients with IONM had increased operative mortality (5.3%
