subcortical remains steady. - ANSWER Continue to monitor subcorticals;In
general, filter settings for SSEP recordings. - ANSWER Can be narrower for
cortical than peripheral responses; The first waveform recorded of a near-field
PTN cortical potential is. - ANSWER Positive due to electronic depolarization
of the membrane under the recording electrode.; A patient is admitted to the OR

and latency by. - ANSWER 8 years;SSEP stimulating electrodes should be
placed with. - ANSWER The negative electrode proximal;
The MN SSEP can be helpful as a measure of. - ANSWER Cerebral blood flow;
The duration of a monophasic, rectangular pulse used for somatosensory
stimulation should be. - ANSWER 0.2 ms;
Upper extremity SSEP are transmitted through the. - ANSWER Cuneate
nucleus;On the SSEP, the electrode at _____ records a spinal cord response -
ANSWER T12;The earliest obligate component of the MN SSEP that is
measured far-field is generated in the. - ANSWER Medial lemniscus;What is
the best montage to use to evaluate dorsal column activity? - ANSWER Cs5-
EPc;The conduction time from the cervical response to the primary MN cortical
response is. - ANSWER 7 msec;The central conduction time for MN SSEP is.

to see. - ANSWER Plantar flexion of the toes;One difference between PTN and
Peroneal responses is that Peroneal. - ANSWER Has a shorter latency;PTN
SSEP responses will be most likely affected if the patient has. - ANSWER
Ataxia;Prolonged MN responses including Erb's point is most likely due to. -
ANSWER Pinched peripheral vessel;One advantage of PTN over Peroneal is
that. - ANSWER Other Pop fossa may be used to assess PTN
stimulation;Which of the following montage would you use to confirm an
abnormality in the Cz'-Fz cortical response to PTN. - ANSWER CPc-CPi;What
is central conduction time for PTN SSEP in the. - ANSWER LP - P37;When
stimulating a normal adult MN at the wrist you would. - ANSWER Elicit a
primary cortical response at about 20 msec;Monitoring somatosensory function
will most likely fail to recognize changes in. - ANSWER Anterior spinal cord
function;To record the compound action potential of the MN intraoperatively,
the electrode should be placed at the. - ANSWER The antecubital fossa;In
order to stimulate both tibial nerves asynchronously you need. - ANSWER To
delay the second stimulator;During tibial nerve stimulation, a decreased nerve
conduction velocity between the pop fossa and L3 potential, with normal NCV
to the pop fossa indicates. - ANSWER A lesion between the pop fossa and the
caudal equina.;Direct focal electrical stimulation of a peripheral nerve lesion
will. - ANSWER More precisely localize the distribution of intact conducting
nerve fibers.
To record cortical SSEPs during intraoperative monitoring of the thoracolumbar
spinal cord, an electrode should be placed: - ANSWER 2 cm posterior Cz;
If the PTN is stimulated at the ankle, stimulation can be verified by. - ANSWER
Recording a response from the pop fossa;The proposed site of recording for the
cervical cord response to MN stimulation is. - ANSWER CS5;Using a montage
with C5 spine to Fpz, with stimulation of the lower extremity the response can
be generated at the. - ANSWER Caudal medial lemniscus and is a far-field
