• Sommario/riassunto: This book fills a much-needed niche in NIOM and is a valuable addition to the library of those specialties and a useful tool for practitioners. The book will be a frequently referenced textbook for all professionals in NIOM, who will find this book invaluable. By referencing to the book, I believe that neurophysiology trainees and technologists will gain much insight into the operation of NIOM; surgeons and anesthesiologists will appreciate what the NIOM may offer in improving surgical outcomes; and the laboratory managers will find materials that will help them set up laboratory policies, pro
