Intraoperative management

Monitoring and access

  • Standard ASA monitors
  • 5-lead EKG
  • 1 PIV

Induction and airway management

Consider induction with succinylcholine instead of non-depolarizing muscle relaxant if nerve monitoring is needed

Positioning

Bed will generally be turned either 90 degrees or 180 degrees away for optimal surgical access.

Maintenance and surgical considerations

Many procedures involve nerve monitoring, which preclude the use of muscle relaxants. Consider remifentanil infusion.
