Padilla et al. discuss how a charge neurodiagnostic technologist role can increase supervision during off hours and develop technologists for leadership roles, providing a flexible and sustainable staffing model. Read more here: tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10.10… #EEG

DeBruyn et al. present evidence-based recommendations for effective team function and provide tools to develop effective, efficient teams. While geared toward IONM professionals, other neurodiagnostic professionals can benefit from their recommendations. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

In Waveform Window #56, Warzecha and Ashaye share a case of seizures associated with asystole, previously misdiagnosed as non-epileptic spells. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Mandir et al. studied electrode-swap errors in 454 IONM cases, finding a 5.3% prevalence. They provide data, examples, and techniques to reduce these errors, highlighting a significant avoidable error in IONM diagnostics. #IONM #neurotwitter tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Neuromuscular ultrasound has significantly impacted diagnosis & localization of ulnar nerve pathology. Xirou and Anagnostou summarize current knowledge on diagnostic methods, synthesizing modern electrodiagnostic and neurosonographic techniques. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Simmons et al. describe a novel protocol to optimize placement of EMG endotracheal tubes to improve the reliability of recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring and report a reduction in alerts and improved accuracy of EMG monitoring following implementation. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Silverstein et al. report IONM detection of an infiltrated IV line during frontal craniotomy, enabling timely intervention leading to recovery with no neurological deficits. This appears to be the first published case of IONM detecting IV infiltration. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
