“…Although the neurophysiological data remained unchanged (no reduction of the amplitude N20/P25, no increase of CCT), the patient showed a contralateral hemiparesis, aphasia and apraxia immediately after the operation. Erasmi and colleagues [21] reported two false-negative results.…”
Compared to other studies, we have shown a much lower sensitivity and specificity of somatosensory evoked potentials in detecting critical cerebral perfusion; thus its use remains controversial and has to be assessed in further investigations.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
