You do not want to use a power extension cord because:
It is a fire hazard
It will increase your risk of ground leakage

Fentanyl infusion will:
Have no affect on amplitude or latency
Decrease amplitude only
Increase amp and increase latency
Increase latency and decrease amp - ANSWER Increase latency and decrease amp.
Normally, during a usual infusion rate, fentanyl would have a negligible effect on amp or
latency; therefore, I think this question is incorrect. Now, if they said a bolus, then that is
a different answer. Fentanyl is an opioid and a bolus of opioids will have a transient
effect on EP data. This means there might be a slight drop in amplitude and rise in
latency that will quickly resolve.
