Abstract
The use of evoked potentials for intraoperative neural monitoring has become widespread and has been the subject of numerous research articles and symposia. It is now almost universally accepted, that evoked-potentials can reliably detect the occurrence of a neural injury during the early stages of its progression. The participants of this symposium unanimously agreed, that SEP monitoring should be considered a “standard of care” for all neurosurgical procedures and for orthopedic procedures upon the spine or spinal cord. It was also agreed, that SEP monitoring should include multiple recording sites and that techniques for monitoring motor pathways should be developed and instituted. While it was agreed that further standardization of recording techniques and response interpretation is needed, the utility and reliability of current electrophysiological monitoring methods was unanimously accepted.
