NeuroMonitoring Companies: Europe
Medical/Health Care: Insurance Companies and IONM Policies, in their Eyes!?
Here is what the insurance Co Anthem Blue thinks about what is medically necessary or investigational as per their policies!
-
Intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring, including, but not limited to the following: Somatosensory-evoked potentials, brainstem auditory-evoked potentials, visual-evoked potential, EMG, motor-evoked potentials, and EEG, when performed during spinal, intracranial, or vascular procedures, is considered medically necessary if the medical appropriateness criteria are met. (See Medical Appropriateness below.)
-
Intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring for other indications is considered investigational.
Any device utilized for this procedure must have FDA approval specific to the indication, otherwise it will be considered investigational. See also: Visual and Auditory Evoked Potential
Beware:- Do We Need this column?
Moved from Main page:-
Do Not Become victim to some New Org, association or society...! WARNING:- Be careful in signing up to some rogue organizations and memberships, You must realize that even professionals become prey for such tactics of bottom feeders, just think before you pay that fee, do we need another neuromontioring group, or organization or association bullshit?. They do not deserve to be even in the radar of scientific and medical communities, sorry!!!. I can only alert you, the rest is in your own hands, just because some one claims to have done or do the same kind of job a Professional and trained scholar can do, it means a jack shit!!!?, A doctor and a Doctarate cannot be replaced, those who claims to be doing some jobs can do something, but be careful to assess or compare it to a Doctor or Doctorate, such comparison will fail!!!. Society for Neuroscience and American Association of Anatomists are some of the most respectable and reputed scientific organizations, I dropped off my membership mainly because of their increased fees, I thought it was unjustified and unreasonable, but my respect to those two organizations will never be altered, they deserve great respect for what they do. Tthis message is not about such great associations, on the other hand it is about some rogue individuals trying to con the school students in IONM field or undergraduates who call themselves to be a neurophysioliogist??.Do not think that all the scientific or clinical organizations out there deserve the same respect like that of society for neuroscience or American association anatomists or American clinical Neurophysiologists or least they do the right things!!. Oh wait that is for those established organizations are out there already not for some rogues, but I have been seeing some internet activities of some rogue and decorated Neuromonitoring associations and societies trying to sprung up, just be careful about such org.The above message I had put up on my LinkedIN is to alert you, there are only a couple of Neuromonitoring associations established and in business already and they are good enough, we do not need every tom, dick and harry who did not even go to graduate school to start a association in the name of he or she is a tech for 10000 surgical cases, a Doctor and Doctorate cannot be replaced and there is no exception to it, so beware about rogue people starting societies and organizations and do not waste your hard earned money and resources to it...... stick to the deserved.
What is the difference between sleep and death.

Jaylen dear,
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if you are a school student or someone who knows this subject well.
Sleep is a huge topic in itself and death has it's own biology, negating the religious, and other beliefs people developed over centuries. I am not interested in those, but as a NeuroScientist and clinician, a Neurophysiologist I will stick the REALITY of Sleep and Death.
In simple terms, sleep is an altered state of awake, whatever happens during awake, most if not all body and brain functions continue during sleep in an altered way. For example, the electrical activities are present and contintued, some of the waveforms are alered during sleep. There two different types of sleep such as Rapid Eye Movement (REM) and Non-REM sleep, and there are stages of sleep in each state certain waveforms with specific frequency and amplitude are active, and those are different during awake, active, excercise and so on.
The bottom line is brain and body is active during sleep, but
in Death, everything ceases, from slow and suppressed EEGs, EMGs, Eyemovements to cessation of all. All the brain waves will vanish, and all the eectrical activities stop, generally termed as brain dead, then scientifically, clinically a person is Dead. Not only brain activity stops, all the organs in the body start shutting down, and then cells will die within minutes, hours to a day or two, then there will be no longer any live cells in the body other than bacteria and other organisms that involve in decay and decomposition of the dead cells, organs and whole body.
in One Line, during sleep brain and body is still working, and after death, every thing stops.
Hope this helps in your school assignments?.
