[Can the reliability of sensory evoked potential monitoring during carotid artery surgery be improved?].
Neurological monitoring during endarteriectomy of the internal carotid artery is essential, especially while operating without shunt. In our own department, SEP monitoring was improved by the introduction of so-called Farfield Analysis of evoked potentials. Since the introduction of Farfield Potential Measurement, no recognizable neurological deficit has been evident.
