What does an intraoperative neuro tech do?

An intraoperative neuro tech works in a surgical setting, performing tests of a patient’s different neurological functions when the surgery may affect their nervous system, such as a spinal cord operation. Your duties as an intraoperative neuromonitoring technologist are to perform neurodiagnostic tests, such as electroencephalography (EEG) or electromyography (EMG), to help prevent brain damage and other issues that might result from the surgical procedure. You also monitor your equipment for any problems and provide patient updates to the physician, anesthesiologist, and other surgical professionals present.
