Spinal evoked responses in the cat. A comparison of different recording techniques with regard to neuromonitoring

Summary

Spinal evoked potentials to sciatic nerve stimulation were recorded with epidural electrodes over the dorsal columns. A comparison with potentials to dorsal column stimulation disclosed differences in the typical segmental variation in regard to wave form, amplitude, spinal conduction velocity and conduction time that could be important in neuromonitoring.

Zusammenfassung

Spinale Potentiale evoziert durch Nervus-Ischiadicus-Reizung und Hinterstrangreizung wurden verglichen. Es fanden sich Unterschiede in Form, Amplitude und spinaler Leitgeschwindigkeit, die für das Neuromonitoring von Bedeutung sein könnten.
