Abstract

We present the techinque of simultaneous recording of bilateral spinal cord potentials by peripheral nerve stimulation using paired stimulation technique. The conditioning stimulus (S1) is applied to left median nerve and the test stimulus applied to right median nerve at a varing time interval after S1. Spinal cord potential is recorded from cervical epidural space. Subtracted response from evoked by bilateral median nerve stimulaion to only right median stimulation is equal to the response evoked by left median nerve stimulation from 0 to 40 msinterstimulous interval. This result showed that this method is useful to assess the bilateral spinal cord function indivisually moreover simultanously, and we emphasize that this method is useful for intraoperative monitoring.
