Abstract
The use of evoked electrophysiological responses during surgery on the nervous system has become a common tool in the operating room. It is used to map the location of structures and to monitor the functional status of neural pathways to enhance intraoperative decision-making and improve outcomes. These techniques can be used during altered states of consciousness such as during anesthesia or coma. A wide variety of techniques are available, and many have been in use since the 1970s. Frequently multiple methods are used together to enhance the information provided (multimodality monitoring). Anesthesia management is key to the success of their use.
