Data samples of the various modalities used to monitor patients:

EMG     SSEP     EEG     MEP     CMP     BAEP

Shown below is SEP data of the median nerve (MSP) observed during a carotid endarterectomy. Changes can be seen in the responses from the left median nerve at the time of clamping of the common carotid artery.

An example of filtered EEG (left) and spectral EEG (right) during a carotid endarterectomy is pictured here.  A decrease in cortical activity in the left hemisphere occured when the left common carotid artery was clamped during the procedure.

Below is sample data of MEP collected during a craniotomy (left) and a shoulder arthroplasty (right) where the motor cortex is stimulated and potentials are recorded from muscle groups.

Below is a sample of CMP data from a posterior lumbar fusion.  As the pedicle screws are stimulated, evoked responses are obtained in several lower extremity muscle groups.
