SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR ASSESSING THE NEUROMUSCULAR PATHWAY PRIOR TO NERVE TESTING

摘要

The present invention involves a system and methods for assessing the state of the neuromuscular pathway to ensure further nerve tests aimed at detecting at least one of a breach in a pedicle wall, nerve proximity, nerve direction, and nerve pathology, are not conducted when neuromuscular blockade levels may decrease the reliability of the results.
