Continuous monitoring of nerve, spine and brain function has been demonstrated to reduce the likelihood of postoperative complications for a wide range of surgical procedures. Monitoring should be performed whenever the surgical team determines that nerve, spine, or brain structures are at-risk due to the complexity of the surgery, the extent of the preoperative problem, or any other patient related factors.

The OHSU Intraoperative Monitoring Services is available to provide state-of-the-art monitoring technical and interpretation services at hospitals in the greater Portland and Southwest Washington areas on a fee-for-service basis.

The Intraoperative Monitoring Services team has monitoring training and experience comparable to or exceeding any programs in the nation in the areas of neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, otolaryngology/head & neck surgery and cardiovascular surgery.
