Are your recording components compromised?
❌ A frayed amplifier cord
❌ Exposed wires on the recording pod
❌ A pod with faulty inputs

Remember that recording components in poor shape will be prone to picking up more noise and can cause technical issues intraoperatively. Always inspect your equipment for clean, reliable data and request replacements when it becomes compromised!

💡 Recommendations for Upper Extremity Monitoring in Cervical Spine Cases
✅ For surgery levels C5 and above: median nerve (MN) and/or ulnar nerve (UN).
✅ For surgery levels at C6 and below: UN (addition of MN is optional and may add segmental benefit and aid in localization).
✅ When surgery includes both upper and lower cervical levels, UN (addition of MN is optional and may add segmental benefit).
