This section will archive some of the PubMed publications in the intraoperative neuromophysiological Monitoring field, if time permits, I will go through and analyse, in either case the list of postings here will be of some interest to the peers.

I found this exciting
concept of using double electrode pads of electrodes for Laryngeal nerve monitoring, this might interest the Anesthesiologist, but without doubt, IONM specialists must look at the usage.

Abstract
We describe a novel technique using double electrode pads for intraoperative neuromonitoring of the recurrent laryngeal nerve. This is a novel setup of intraoperative neuromonitoring that helps protect against faulty readings due to tube migration during surgery and allows for the recording of "side-specific" recurrent laryngeal nerve information. This method has not been previously described in the literature. This original approach to neuromonitoring helps guard against tube migration, simplifies the intubation process, allows for the acquisition of side-specific information, and is less expensive than use of commercially available integrated endotracheal tubes.
