An evaluation of anesthetic fade in motor evoked potential monitoring in spinal deformity surgeries

Abstract Background Intraoperative neuromonitoring using motor evoked potentials (MEP) satisfactorily detects motor tract integrity changes during spinal surgery. However, monitoring is affected by “anesthetic fade,” in which the stimulation threshold increases because the waveform amplitude decreas...
