IO may mean intraoperative or input/output, but generally means the latter
Some studies have shown that intraoperative radiation therapy extends survival by several months.

Intraoperative blood collection: the blood lost during surgery is processed, and the red blood cells are re-infused during or immediately after surgery.
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.
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 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.
Intraoperative heat loss can occur due to exposure of the patient's body to the cold environment in the operating room, administration of cold intravenous fluids, use of cold irrigation solutions, and the cooling effect of anesthetics on the body's thermoregulatory mechanisms. Additionally, factors like prolonged surgical time, open body cavities, and use of certain surgical techniques can also contribute to heat loss during 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.
