Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how previous voluntary muscle activation affects the compound muscle action potential (CMAP) recorded from specific muscles.
- In the experiment with six healthy volunteers, CMAP measurements were taken both at rest and after voluntary activation for up to 30 minutes, showing a significant increase in CMAP parameters immediately after activation.
- The results indicated that CMAP can be enhanced up to 144% of its baseline shortly after muscle activation, with levels returning to baseline within about 15 minutes, suggesting prior muscle activation influences CMAP size in nerve conduction tests.
Purpose: An acute symptomatic seizure is a clinical seizure occurring at the time of or in close temporal association with a brain insult. We report an acute symptomatic seizure occurring during a surgical procedure in a patient who did not have a prior history of epilepsy and who did not have a lesion associated with an increased risk of epilepsy. To characterize the incidence and clinical features of intraoperative seizures during craniotomy under general anesthesia, we reviewed cases where continuous EEG was acquired during craniotomy.
