Radiation during surgery to kill cancer cells that may remain in surrounding tissue after the surgery
Intraoperative somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP) monitoring involves measuring the electrical signals in the brain in response to sensory stimulation during surgery. This monitoring helps assess the integrity of the sensory pathways, especially for procedures that may involve the spinal cord or brain. Changes in SSEP signals can alert the medical team to potential issues such as nerve damage or compromised blood flow during the operation.
No, radiation does not rise. Radiation can travel in all directions from its source, with its behavior dependent on the type of radiation and the surrounding environment.
- Radiation of cosmic origin- Radiation from radioactive elements (and decay products) of the Earth- Internal radiation of organisms
Blood salvage , which is also called autotransfusion
Yes, radiation can be classified as either ionizing or non-ionizing. Ionizing radiation has enough energy to remove tightly bound electrons from atoms, leading to the formation of ions. Examples of ionizing radiation include X-rays, gamma rays, and certain types of nuclear radiation.
Some studies have shown that intraoperative radiation therapy extends survival by several months.
Intraoperative heat loss can occur through radiation, convection, conduction, and evaporation. These methods can contribute to the body losing heat during a surgical procedure. Maintaining normothermia is critical in preventing complications associated with hypothermia.

Intraoperative blood collection: the blood lost during surgery is processed, and the red blood cells are re-infused during or immediately after surgery.
Some treatment options are Surgery , Radiation, Chemotherapy , Immunotherapy and or Heated Intraoperative Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy. Stage I or II Mesothelioma is treated by using conventional therapies in combination with radiation and or chemotherapy. This results in an average of 74.6 percent success rate in extending the patient's life span by five years or more.
It is important to expel all air from the cholangiogram system prior to an intraoperative cholangiogram because of air bubbles. They appear as dark round shadows which can be interpreted as stones on the cholangiogram.

CPT Code 95920- Intraoperative neurophysiology testing, per hour.
IO may mean intraoperative or input/output, but generally means the latter
Intraoperative heat loss can occur during surgery due to factors such as exposure to lower room temperatures, infusion of cold fluids, use of evaporative cooling methods like forced air warming systems, and exposure of body cavities to the environment. Additionally, patient positioning can also play a role in increasing heat loss during surgery.
