SSEP Test Review electrical responses of the nervous system to sensory stimuli and are analyzed to assess the Integrity of portions of the nervous system - somatosensory evoked potentials SSEP's are recorded from both the Central and peripheral nervous systems True/False - True somatosensory evoked potentials only record short latency evoked potentials True/False - True short latency evoked potentials typically last less then 30 milliseconds and are resistant to changes in l...

SSEP Test Review questions with correct answers

White matter consists of what type of fiber tracts? - ANSWER-Axon of nerve fibers In the visual pathway, fibers anterior to the optic chiasm are called - ANSWER-Optic Nerves If a neurologist suspects nerve damage in a PTs neurological exam, he may order - ANSWER-Nerve conduction/EMG excitatory neurotransmitter - ANSWER-Glutamate The trigeminal nerve can be monitored from which muscle? - ANSWER-Masseter Damage to which structure would most likely result in motor deficits - ANSWER-Lateral ...

What type of actions potentials contribute to the popliteal fossa - Answer both orthodromic and antidromic What is the neurological deficit related to the compression of the spinal cord - Answer Myelopathy When evaluating for special considerations/contraindication for MEP monitoring, what is the most appropriate step to be taken when identifying a pt with a previous medical history of SZs that have been well controlled with medication - Answer discuss the risk with surgeon and anesthesiol...
