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.
