As the specialty of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring matures, the demand for highly-trained neurotechnologists increases. The neurotechnologist is the watchdog of the operating room, requiring the knowledge of all peri-operative personnel from the scrub technician to the surgeon.

The operating room can be a hostile environment. You will likely have many questions:

• Where do I setup my monitoring equipment?
• What can I touch?
• What equipment will affect my recordings?
• What agents will the anesthesiologist administer?
• How do I communicate with operating room personnel?
• What is the surgeon's operative plan?

The training classes provided exclusively by ORIMtec will answer these questions and more. Whether you are a new or experienced monitorist, our classes will sharpen your skills and build confidence in your monitoring abilities.

Once armed with classroom training, you can leverage ORIMtec's On-Site Proctoring Service. This program delivers a neurotechnologist on-site with you for three days to assist in orienting you with the procedures for providing effective monitoring services during scheduled surgeries. Together, we will interact with the circulating nurse, anesthesiologist, and the surgeon. When changes occur in our potentials or we witness EMG activity, we will concentrate on troubleshooting and communicate our findings to the surgeon.

Having gained confidence through our proctoring service, you can utilize our exclusive on-line technical support. ORIMtec's experienced staff is available for consultation on technical issues during live procedures. A highly-experienced neurotechnologist will be online in real-time to provide monitoring support. Utilizing an Internet connection from the operating room, the ORIMtec neurotechnologist will view your data simultaneously as it is generated during the procedure. You will communicate via online chat and receive the support you need to provide the best quality in monitoring services.
