Abstract:
Somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP) of the n. medianus, with clinically significant neurological findings helps in diagnosing a number of different cervical spine lesions. SSEP of the n. medianus and neurological observations also aid in diagnosticis of the disc-radicular conflict. A final diagnosis is set by the computerised tomography (CT). The tested positive predictive value of assessment of disc-radicular conflict of the cervical spine by means of SSEP is 87%. The 95% confidence interval (CI) is 0.87 (0.81-0.93) (Tab. 3, Fig. 4, Ref. 23). Full Text (Free, PDF) www.bmj.sk.

Assessment of apical radial pulse
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.
