Abstract

Context: Brain computer interface devices like Neuralink implants will pose a significant challenge in the present understanding and learning curve for Neuromonitoring techniques during neurosurgery and Neurocritical care. Aims: We hereby enlist our concern with regards to electroencephalography, trans-cranial doppler and cerebral oxygenation monitoring in patients with such implants for neurosurgical procedures. Settings and Design: Short communications Conclusions: There exists minimal published research with regards to EEG monitoring, cerebral oxygenation monitoring and cerebral blood flow monitoring in patients coming for neurosurgeries for brain tumors with these kind of brain computer interfaces implanted in their cerebral cortex. This brief communication will help in generating research interest in this upcoming evolution in medical care.
