An improved technique for radial nerve conduction studies.

An improved technique for radial nerve conduction studies.

A technique for recording evoked sensory potentials from the radial nerve has already been reported by us (Downie and Scott, 1964). This technique, although reliable, is time consuming and occasionally difficult and the amplitude of potentials may be as low as 1 to 2 microvolts. The purpose of this communication is to describe a simpler technique by which potentials of greater amplitude can be ...

Neurological Study of Radial Nerve Conduction During Endoscopic Radial Artery Harvesting:An Intra‐Operative Evaluation

Endoscopic radial artery harvesting (ERAH) is a feasible and attractive minimally invasive approach for conduit procurement, however there have been concerns about a potential neurological damage occurring at the harvest limb site secondary to injury of the radial nerve during endoscopic harvesting. We present a case of ERAH in which we evaluated intraoperatively the characteristics of radial n...

Motor Nerve Conduction Studies

tion techniques, it is important to pursue more specialized methods of evaluating the peripheral nervous system. Additionally, nerves requiring needle excitation and less commonly studied nerves are of importance. From time-to-time patients may present with lesions affecting specific sensory branches that yield small amplitude responses or require averaging techniques to better define the desir...

Nerve conduction studies.

This article forms part of our 'Tests and results' series for 2011 which aims to provide information about common tests that general practitioners order regularly. It considers areas such as indications, what to tell the patient, what the test can and cannot tell you, and interpretation of results.
