摘要
Soma tosensory-evoked potential (SSEP) monitoring is commonly used to detect changes. in nerve conduction and prevent impending nerve injury. We present a case series of two patients who had SSEP monitoring for their surgical craniotomy procedure, and Who, upon Positioning Supine with their head tilted 30 degrees-45 degrees, developed unilateral upper extremity SSEP changes. These SSEP changes were reversed when the patients were repositioned. These cases indicate the clinical usefulness of monitoring SSEPs while positioning the patient and adjusting position accordingly to prevent injury. (Anesth Analg 2009;109:817-821)
