Carotid Surgery
Ischemia monitoring with somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP)
Electrophysiological early warning for protection of cerebral ischemia during vascular surgery is performed by using continuous recording of somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP). This method constitutes a simple solution compared with colour duplex sonography for example and can show the beginning of a cerebral ischemia during vascular surgery. SEPs allow direct assessment of the effectiveness of the ischemic protective measures taken. NeMo, with its touchscreen operable under sterile conditions, is the right device for intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring during vascular surgery.
