Motor-evoked potentials (MEP) during brainstem surgery to preserve corticospinal function [PDF]
, 2018 Background: Brainstem surgery bears a risk of damage to the corticospinal tract (CST). Motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) are used intraoperatively to monitor CST function in order to detect CST damage at a reversible stage and thus impede permanent ...

Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, Volume 70, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Background Many patients undergoing prehospital anaesthesia may be at risk of inadequate cerebral oxygenation due to underlying conditions or adverse events like hypotension or hypoxia. This study examined whether a decrease in regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) measured with near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) during prehospital ...

Comparison of transcranial electric motor and somatosensory evoked potential monitoring during cervical spine surgery. [PDF]
, 2004 BACKGROUND: There has been little enthusiasm for somatosensory evoked potential monitoring in cervical spine surgery as a result, in part, of the increased risk of motor tract injury at this level, to which somatosensory monitoring may be insensitive ...

Spinal cord injury: is monitoring from the injury site the future? [PDF]
, 2016 This paper challenges the current management of acute traumatic spinal cord injury based on our experience with monitoring from the injury site in the neurointensive care unit. We argue that the concept of bony decompression is inadequate. The concept of

Comparison of minimally invasive parathyroidectomy under local anaesthesia and minimally invasive video-assisted parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism: A cost analysis [PDF]
, 2016 Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) origins from a solitary adenoma in 70-95% of cases. Moreover, the advances in methods for localizing an abnormal parathyroid gland made minimally invasive techniques more prominent.
