Introduction

["Rhonda Clark, R. EP T., CNIM" <rclark.anest1@WPO.HEALTH.UFL.EDU>]

Greetings to all those with an interest in neurophysiology.  My name is
Rhonda Clark, and I am an intraoperative END technologist.  At Shands at
the University of Florida we have a long-standing and successful
monitoring service which recorded over 400 procedures last year.  My two
colleagues and I are under the supervision of a team of
neuroanesthesiologists, and we are separate from the clinical END
laboratory.  The scope of monitored cases here is broad, including
procedures for the treatment of intra-cranial aneurysm and AVM, posterior
fossa procedures for acoustic schwannoma and microvascular decompressions
of cranial nerves as well as orthopedic and neurosurgical procedures for
the treatment of intra- and extra-axial spinal pathology.
        I'm personally very excited about the opportunities for sharing
experience and information via the internet.  Our first on-line case
presentation was launched recently, and I invite you all to visit it @
www.anest.ufl.edu.  The title of the presentation is Neurologic Case of
the Month.
