Effects of Anesthetic Choice on the Incidence of Transcranial-Motor Potential-Induced Oral Trauma.

Transcranial motor-evoked potentials (TcMEPs) play an integral role in assessing motor tract function in surgical procedures where motor function is at risk. However, transcranial stimulation creates a risk for oral trauma. Several studies have reported on distinct factors that can influence the rate of TcMEP-induced oral trauma, but little is known about how an anesthetic regimen can influence this rate.
