N18 in median somatosensory evoked potentials: a new indicator of medullary function useful for the diagnosis of brain death.
OBJECTIVES To record N18 in median somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) for deeply comatose or brain dead patients and to demonstrate the usefulness of N18 for the diagnosis of brain death in comparison with auditory brain stem responses (ABRs) and P13/14 in median SEPs, which have been conventionally used as complementary tests for the diagnosis of brain death. METHODS Subjects were 19 dee...

Assessment of median nerve somatosensory evoked potentials in cerebral ischemia.
Seventy patients with cerebral ischemia (21 with transient ischemic attack and 49 with stroke) were studied with short-latency median nerve somatosensory evoked potentials to characterize the evoked potentials in all ischemic patients and to investigate their efficacy for prognosis in stroke. Within 72 hours of symptom onset, all 70 patients received a scaled neurologic function score, with a m...
متن کاملEffects of sufentanil on median nerve somatosensory evoked potentials.
We have studied the effects of a single i.v. dose of sufentanil 5 micrograms kg-1 in combination with pancuronium on the median nerve short latency somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP) in 15 unpremedicated patients undergoing thoracic or lumbar spinal surgery. The latency and amplitude of the SSEP response over the second cervical vertebra (SC) and sensory cortex (P17, N20, P25), heart rate a...
متن کاملEffects of thiopentone on median nerve somatosensory evoked potentials.
We have studied the effects of an i.v. bolus of thiopentone 4 mg kg-1 on the median nerve somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP) in 15 unpremedicated patients. The latency and amplitude of the SSEP response over the second cervical vertebra (SC) and sensory cortex (P15, N20, P25) were recorded before and for 12 min after injection. Data were analysed at 0, 4, 8 and 12 min for time-related alter...
