Facial Monitoring Best Practices Part 3 - New Recording Montage! Dr Kartush

Over the 40 years since its introduction, incremental changes have been made in facial nerve monitoring hardware and software. Initially, only 2 channel monitoring was available but with 4, 8 and 32 channel recording now common, we have updated our recording montage recommendation to assume 4 channel monitoring. Dr Kartush discusses the logic behind how to best employ the two additional channels. In brief, mentalis is used as the third channel because it has the highest sensitivity to detect low amplitude responses. The fourth channel is used as a reference or control to help exclude artifact from true EMG, using either masseter or trapezius muscles. To maximize the safety and efficacy of facial monitoring, it is strongly advised that all centers adopt these new 2024 recommendations.
