Abstract：
Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) are used to assess the functional status of somatosensory pathways during surgical procedures and can help protect patients\' neurological integrity intraoperatively. This is a position statement on intraoperative SEP monitoring from the American Society of Neurophysiological Monitoring (ASNM) and updates prior ASNM position statements on SEPs from the years 2005 and 2010. This position statement is endorsed by ASNM and serves as an educational service to the neurophysiological community on the recommended use of SEPs as a neurophysiological monitoring tool. It presents the rationale for SEP utilization and its clinical applications. It also covers the relevant anatomy, technical methodology for setup and signal acquisition, signal interpretation, anesthesia and physiological considerations, and documentation and credentialing requirements to optimize SEP monitoring to aid in protecting the nervous system during surgery.
摘要：
体感诱发电位（SEP）用于评估手术过程中体感通路的功能状态，并有助于在术中保护患者的神经完整性。这是美国神经生理监测协会（ASNM）关于术中SEP监测的立场声明，并更新了2005年和2010年之前ASNM关于SEP的立场声明。此立场声明得到ASNM的认可，并作为神经生理学社区的教育服务，建议使用SEP作为神经生理学监测工具。它介绍了SEP利用的基本原理及其临床应用。它还涵盖了相关的解剖学，设置和信号采集的技术方法，信号解释,麻醉和生理考虑，以及文件和认证要求，以优化SEP监测，以帮助在手术过程中保护神经系统。
