Abstract:The correction of anemia is important in reversing significant intraoperative bilateral motor-evoked potential (MEP) loss following rod placement for correction of large scoliosis curves. This article presents a retrospective review of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) data, anesthesia records, and medical charts of two patients with significant bilateral MEP changes associated with posterior spinal surgery for deformity correction.
