TL;DR: It is concluded, that intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring represents an important tool in the prevention and/or reduction of possible neurological lesions in close to 5% of medical-surgical procedures, many of which, are performed in pediatric patients.

Abstract: Introduction: intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring is a new application of clinical neurophysiology. Through the immediate detection of functional alterations during medical or surgical procedures, it pretends to minimize the appearance of neurological lesions. Objetive: its indications in pediatric patients are enumerated. Its standard modalities are mentioned, and, current controversies on some of its most important indications are discussed. Conclusions: for the controversies selection we used the only four existent literature reviews. It is concluded, that despite such a recent application, it represents an important tool in the prevention and/or reduction of possible neurological lesions in close to 5% of medical-surgical procedures, many of these of which, are performed in pediatric patients.

Practice parameter: prediction of outcome in comatose survivors after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (an evidence-based review): report of the Quality Standards Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology.
TL;DR: Pupillary light response, corneal reflexes, motor responses to pain, myoclonus status epilepticus, serum neuron-specific enolase, and somatosensory evoked potential studies can reliably assist in accurately predicting poor outcome in comatose patients after cardiopulmonary resuscitation for cardiac arrest.

TL;DR: A single Class I study and 24 Class IV studies indicate that the benefits of anteromesial temporal lobe resection for disabling complex partial seizures is greater than continued treatment with antiepileptic drugs, and the risks are at least comparable.
