Key result
Among 101 patients undergoing thoracic aortic aneurysm surgery with somatosensory evoked potential monitoring, 8 patients (7.9%) developed postoperative neurologic deficits.
Why the study?
Can somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) monitoring detect the occurrence and causes of neurologic deficits during thoracic aortic aneurysm surgery?
Observational (n=101)
No
Can somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) monitoring detect the occurrence and causes of neurologic deficits during thoracic aortic aneurysm surgery?
Intraoperative SEP monitoring reliably detects the onset and causes of neurologic ischemia during thoracic aortic aneurysm surgery, though effective prevention and treatment strategies remain lacking.
Neurologic deficits persist despite SEP monitoring in thoracic aortic aneurysm surgery; leaves open need for effective prevention strategies.

Takaki et al. (1989) conducted an observational in Thoracic aortic aneurysm (n=101). Somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) monitoring was evaluated on Postoperative neurologic deficits. Among 101 patients undergoing thoracic aortic aneurysm surgery with somatosensory evoked potential monitoring, 8 patients (7.9%) developed postoperative neurologic deficits.
