Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring (IONM)
Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring (IONM): http://www.spinesurgeon.co.uk/content/iom
Critical neurological structures may be easily damaged unintentionally during surgical procedures. During cases which involve general anesthesia nervous system damage may not be apparent until the patient awakens. Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) allows the detection of neurological compromise early enough that permanent deficits may be avoided. Within the past few years, dramatic improvements in equipment and techniques have allowed a new level of precision when monitoring the central and peripheral nervous system during surgery. Modern methods have moved far beyond the sensory evoked potentials (SEPs) used exclusively in the past. Electroencephalography (EEG), Motor evoked potentials (MEPs), brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs), cranial nerve monitoring, free run electromyography (EMG), and triggered responses have become the standard of care. Several other methods remain looming on the horizon.
IONM has become the gold standard for ensuring patient safety while undergoing operations which place the central or peripheral nervous system at risk. Technological advancements within the last few years have allowed monitoring techniques to evolve. Computer systems and Neurophysiological training program are advancing rapidly. Allowing neurologists and surgeons to work together to provide better patient outcomes during more complicated procedures in close proximity to vital neurological tissues.

Heart Failure Rehabilitation
Heart failure, also called congestive heart failure (CHF), is a condition in which the heart cannot pump enough oxygenated blood to meet the needs of the body's other organs. The heart keeps pumping, but not as efficiently as a healthy heart. Usually, the loss in the heart's pumping action is a symptom of an underlying heart problem.
As the only major cardiovascular disease increasing in incidence and prevalence, congestive heart failure (CHF) is a major health threat. Progression of the disease often leads to severe disability and requires intensive medical and psychological management. Read More >

Pulmonary Rehabilitation
Serving physicians practices, hospital outpatient program developments and physical medicine clinics. Rehabilitation Systems, has designed a program implementation package with clinical pathways for the skilled-, assisted-, and independent living facilities, or for inpatient and outpatient facilities. The pulmonary rehabilitation program implementation course is certified, as are all the programs, at sixteen (16) clinical contact hours or one point six (1.6) continuing eduction units (CEU’s) for physical medicine professionals.
- Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) is a multidisciplinary approach to improving the functional status and quality of life of people with chronic lung disease. Endurance and strength exercise training is cornerstone to pulmonary rehabilitation. Additionally, educational training increases patients understanding of the disease process, improves coping skills, and teaches the patient self-management.
- Patients may expect to realize specific outcomes such as fewer emergency room visits, lower re-hospitalization rates, decreased treatment interventions, decreased duration per hospitalization, increased functional ability, independence and self-care.
- Program graduates typically return to activities of daily living sooner and maintain a higher Quality of Life. The functional goals of (PR) are accomplished through up to 36 individuated exercise sessions held three times a week for 12 weeks, as defined by CMS. Read More >
