Abstract:
A review of our experience with evoked potential monitoring of over 100 spinal procedures is summarized here. Typical results of somatosensory cortical evoked potential (SCEP) testing found that latency of responses increased slightly and amplitude decreased substantially from preanesthesia to predistraction with no further changes. SCEP results are effected by many factors, but when they are understood and recognized, evoked potential monitoring can play a significant role in recognizing potential problems and preventing postoperative neurological problems in patients undergoing spinal surgery.Keywords:

Objective To explore the technologies accuracy,influencing factors and clinical application value of spinal somatosensory evoked potential.Methods 120 cases of spinal surgery with intraoperative cortical somatosensory evoked potential(Cortical somatosensory evoked potential,CSEP) monitoring,observation of preoperative,intraoperative and postoperative as well as important changes in surgical procedures of the CSEP,combined with changes in spinal cord function after operation to determine CSEP accuracy and clinical value.Results In 120 cases,CSEP testing surgery in 112(93.3%) patients without spinal cord dysfunction;6 cases(5%) patients intraoperative CSEP to the value of the standard warning,warning surgeons to pay attention to surgical operation,surgery with non-spinal cord injury,proprioception no exception;a false positive in 2 cases,after the normal proprioception.Conclusion The exclusion of various interference factors of somatosensory evoked potentials can be more accurate monitoring of spinal cord function,is a good clinical value of spinal surgery monitoring technology.

This study evaluated the effects of propofol on somatosensory evoked cortical potentials in 20 ASA grade 1 or 2 patients who underwent spinal surgery. Anaesthesia consisted of propofol, dextromoramide, 50% nitrous oxide and oxygen mixture. The induction dose of propofol was 2 mg/kg and was followed by an infusion of 6 mg/kg for the first hour and 3 mg/kg subsequently. Somatosensory evoked cortical potentials were recorded on the scalp and compared to pre-operative values using Student's paired t-test. We observed a significant depression of evoked potential 10 minutes after induction, which continued until the early phase of recovery. Because of its short and quickly reversible action, propofol is an acceptable agent when clinical monitoring of the spinal cord is indicated but is not satisfactory when monitoring has to be based on somatosensory cortical evoked potentials.

In order for electroencephalography (EEG) with sensory stimuli measures to be used in research and neurological clinical practice, demonstration of reliability is needed. However, this is rarely examined. Here we studied the test-retest reliability of the EEG latency and amplitude of evoked potentials and spectra as well as identifying the sources during pin-prick stimulation. We recorded EEG in 23 healthy older adults who underwent a protocol of pin-prick stimulation on the dominant and non-dominant hand. EEG was recorded in a second session with rest intervals of 1 week. For EEG electrodes Fz, Cz, and Pz peak amplitude, latency and frequency spectra for pin-prick evoked potentials was determined and test-retest reliability was assessed. Substantial reliability ICC scores (0.76-0.79) were identified for evoked potential negative-positive amplitude from the left hand at C4 channel and positive peak latency when stimulating the right hand at Cz channel. Frequency spectra showed consistent increase of low-frequency band activity (< 5 Hz) and also in theta and alpha bands in first 0.25 s. Almost perfect reliability scores were found for activity at both low-frequency and theta bands (ICC scores: 0.81-0.98). Sources were identified in the primary somatosensory and motor cortices in relation to the positive peak using s-LORETA analysis. Measuring the frequency response from the pin-prick evoked potentials may allow the reliable assessment of central somatosensory impairment in the clinical setting.

Short latency somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) to median nerve stimulation during isoflurane anaesthesia were recorded in 12 elective–surgery patients. The effect of isoflurane on the shape, amplitude and latency of SEPs was evaluated. SEPs were recorded at awake, 1 MAC, 1.5 MAC, at electroencephalogram (EEG) burst suppression and at continuous suppression levels. Finally, SEPs were recorded when anaesthesia was lightened back to 1 MAC. The peak latency and amplitude of the first cortical N 20 wave were measured. The latencies increased with increasing isoflurane concentrations. At high concentrations only an almost monophasic N 20 wave was recorded, reduced in shape and amplitude. No specific changes could be correlated with the burst suppression or suppression patterns. This suggests that EEG and SEP generators are differently affected with increasing isoflurane concentration. The results indicate that SEPs can also be recorded in drug–induced EEG suppression.
