Texas Society for Neurodiagnostic Technology

10/02/2024

I am actively seeking a CNIM who has considerable experience in not only the standard modalities (EEG, SSEP, MEP, EMG, t-EMG, TOF, BAER) used in neuromonitoring for Spine, ENT, Vascular, and Cardiothoracic surgical cases, but also in advanced Neurosurgical intracranial monitoring and mapping: PR-SSEPs, ECoG, DcSSEP, DcMEP, Cortical and Subcortical Mapping, 60 Hz DCS, ... and willing to learn newer modalities like CCEP/SCEP.

Our team here thrives on solid teamwork and building rapport. We are considerate of one another. We don't have time for pretentious prima-donna behavior. We want competent and skilled CNIMs who are patient-focused, professional and willing to keep improving and learning. We want team players who can communicate clearly, concisely and rapidly with the surgical, nursing and anesthesia teams.

If interested please PM me or TEXT me at 281.673.0222.

From Craig Schweitzer:

Here's a virtual video collaboration of "Sleigh Ride" that I helped put together for our city orchestra. That's me on the bells, woodblocks, and slapstick. Hope you enjoy it. MERRY CHRISTMAS to all our NDT colleagues and their families!

Baptist Health Sciences University has an AS degree in NDT, and now a Bachelor's of Health Sciences in Neurodiagnostic Technology as well. Registration is open now. Visit www.baptistu.edu for more information. Click Academics, Neurodiagnostic Technology, then click the bachelor's or associate's degree on the right, then click Learn More, the curriculum plan. Also listed under the Bachelor's is the different credentials that will earn block credits for courses. The Bachelor's is completely online if you have an associate's already. The associate's degree requires 3 weeks of intensive lab at the university, and a clinical rotation. Email me if you have questions: maggie.marsh-nation@baptistu.edu The BHS has course sin MEG, Autonomic testing, advanced neuroanatomy, neuropsychology, neuroimaging, and much more. Send me an email, and let's talk. ~ Maggie Marsh-Nation, PhD, R. EEG/EP T, CNIM, FASET

Texas 2020 Online NDT Conference ??

Several of us were wondering about the interest level in an online conference this year. We thought about offering pre-recorded lectures online in EEG/LTM and IONM. We are going to see if we can get approval for 12 CEUs.

The cost has not been determined yet, but considering the financial hit many of us have taken, we will endeavor to offer a high quality lectures at a reasonable price.

Just give us a THUMBS UP HERE if you are interested.

TO: NDT Colleagues, from: Craig Schweitzer

Does anyone in the NDT profession have a WORKING old Grass PS-22 (see photo) that I can borrow? If not, does anyone have a manual free-standing photic stimulator (non-software controlled)?

Reason ...

I'm doing a control study on optimal parameters for monocular and binocular steady-state visual stimulation. I am also comparing traditional signal averaged VEPs versus rapid frequency-domain Fourier analysis.

Under the proper anesthetic conditions, visual cortex (Area 17) sustained responses to steady-state dichoptic flash stimulation are easily recorded.

I believe ... these responses will not only indicate a grossly intact visual pathway, but (based on the temporal tuning characteristics of the retina), such responses can be used to separate magnocellular and parvocellular responses and thus predict if the sub-pathway needed for normal spatial resolution (normal vision) remains intact during the course of high-risk neurovascular or tumor resection surgeries.

In short, this is a hopeful recording technique that can be configured to run on any Cadwell, Medtronic, or XLTec ... and more importantly it may help to reduce the likelihood of intraoperative loss of vision.

This technique is an improvement to the traditional flash transient VEP that has been used for years in the clinic and has been attempted in several other surgical studies with little success.

I actually used a similar technique back in the late 1980s on infants with bilateral latent nystagmus and congenital cataracts with good post-op predictive success.
