INTRAOPERATIVE EEG MONITORING  BISPECTRAL ANALYSIS (BIS) BIS guided anesthesia demonstrated superiority in monitoring depth of anesthesia, minimize awareness under anesthesia, reduction in anesthetic utilization, guide delivery, fast awakening. Spectral Entropy, a measure of disorder in EEG activity, is being evaluated.

INTRAOPERAT A IVE MEP & EMG INCLUDING CRANIAL NERVE MONITORING

ElectroMyoGraphy SSEP cannot evaluate individual nerve roots •Operative Monitoring –Nerve irritation–Nerve identification (stimulation)–Pedicle screw testing–Reflex testing–(Motor evoked potentials)

Methods for Cranial Nerve Monitoring II Optic sensory: VEP III Oculomotor motor:inferior rectus m IV Trochlear motor: superior oblique m V Trigeminal motor: masseter and/or temporalis m VI Abducens motor: lateral rectus m VII Facial motor: obicularis oculi and/or obicularis oris m VIII Auditory sensory: ABR IX Glossopharyngeal motor: posterior soft palate (stylopharygeus m) X Vagus motor: vocal folds, cricothyroid m XI Spinal Accessory motor: sternocleidomastoid m and/or trapezious m XII Hypoglossal motor: tongue, genioglossus m

Facial Nerve Bursts 100 msec Monitoring Neurotonic 30 sec

ANESTHETIC REGIMEN FOR INTRAOPERAT A IVE NEUROPHYSIOLOGICAL MONITORING

Anesthesia Components: Analgesia and Sedation/Amnesia Opioids Ketamine •Morphine Dexmeditomidine •Demerol •Fentanyl •Alfentanil •Sufentanil •Remifentanil

Fentanyl Excel ent drug, blocks pain in pathways not used by IONM such that sedative drugs that do hamper IOM can be kept at lower level

Sufentanil Fentanyl MEP SSEP

Ketamine Perspective: Provides amnesia and analgesia Inexpensive as infusion in TIVA Problem of hallucinations  Increases ICP with intracranial pathology  May inc seizures

Anesthesia Components: Analgesia and Sedation/Amnesia  Barbiturates (thiopental, methohexitol) Benzodiazepines (midazolam) Propofol Etomidate• Droperidol• [Ketamine]• [Dexmeditomidine

Propofol is the most common TIVA sedative

Muscle Relaxation  Paralysis ok during intubation and some other times (e.g. back incision)  Full paralysis may be necessary to reduce EMG interference near recording electrodes ( e.g. SSEP cervical response, epidural or neural response)  Full or partial paralysis may reduce patient movement with stimulation  Partial paralysis may be acceptable for electrically stimulated pathways  Absence of paralysis may be necessary with mechanical stimulation or with pathology

Motor Evoked Responses: Start with TIVA – Induction with appropriate medications (limit barbiturates and benzodiazepines) Using short to intermediate acting relaxants Propofol 1-2 mg/kg Succinylcholine, vecuronium, rocuronium, etc. Desflurane 3% – Basic maintenance with TIVA inhaled (1/2 Propofol 120-140 mg/kg/min MAC) may be Sufentanil 0.3-0.5 ug/kg/hr tolerated in – Use EEG to guide propofol healthy – No nitrous oxide, No potent inhalational patients – No muscle relaxation

Summary: Effective Anesthesia Work with monitoring to develop an anesthetic plan based on monitor techniques used Start the case with the best anesthesia possible and begin monitoring (use a bite block!) Review the responsesLiberalize or improve anesthesia Hold the physiology and anesthesia steadyDevelop an anesthesia “protocol”
