Effects of different etomidate doses on intraoperative somatosensory-evoked potential monitoring

摘要

Somatosensory-evoked potentials (SSEPs) are widely used for intraoperative spinal cord monitoring. Although many general anesthetics inhibit SSEPs, etomidate has been reported to boost SSEPs. This clinical study aimed to test whether etomidate doses less than 0.3 mg/kg amplify SSEP monitoring.
