The Effect of Balanced Anesthesia Regimen on Intraoperative Trans-cranial Motor Evoked Potential During Spine Surgeries:

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2021-04-05
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

transcranial motor evoked potentials (TcMEP) were proved to be useful during complicated spinal surgeries to prevent iatrogenic complications. The effect of anesthetic agents was comprehensively discussed in literature. The Investigators studied a new balanced anesthetic protocol using propofol and sevoflurane in addition to continuous fentanyl infusion in which they compared values and ratios of amplitudes and latencies of TcMEP waves at different time point.

• Phase: Phase 4
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: El-Sahel Teaching Hospital
