Throughout the procedure, they continuously monitor the patient’s neurophysiological responses, identify any changes, and communicate critical information to the surgical team. The technologist may work on multiple cases in one day, often requiring adaptability to different surgical specialties and patient needs. Collaboration, focus, and rapid response are key to success in this high-stakes, fast-paced environment.
