Abstract
Individual monitoring of EEG and evoked potentials is gradually becoming standard in neurosurgery: compressed power spectra during carotid endarterectomy, brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) during posterior fossa surgery, and somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) mainly during spinal cord surgery. In this paper, a new technique is described in which EEG, BAEP, and SEP are recorded and evaluated simultaneously and continuously. This allows a better survey of different neuronal structures and systems in the brain and brainstem. First results from intraoperative and intensive care patient monitoring are reported.
