Visual Evoked Potential Reliability during Non-Cranial Surgery

Overview

About this study

The goal of this study is to determine the optimal stimulating and recording protocol for visual evoked potentials (VEP’s) during non-cranial surgery using total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA). The study will also determine if VEP’s remain reliably stable in amplitude and latency during non-cranial surgery using total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA), and also determine what factors predict poorly reliable VEP’s during non-cranial surgery using TIVA.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.
