The Application of Tetanic Stimulation of the Unilateral Tibial Nerve Before Transcranial Stimulation Can Augment the Amplitudes of Myogenic Motor-Evoked Potentials from the Muscles in the Bilateral Upper and Lower Limbs

Abstract

In patients under propofol and fentanyl anesthesia with partial neuromuscular blockade, the application of tetanic stimulation to the left tibial nerve augmented the amplitudes of MEPs from the muscles without tetanic nerve stimulation and those with stimulation.
