Summary
Optimal electric stimulation for monitoring bulbocavernosus reflexes (BCRs) in infants involves biphasic, 8-pulse stimulation with a 2-msec interval. This method enhances intraoperative BCR monitoring during tethered cord syndrome surgery.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Surgery
- Neurophysiology
- Medical Device Technology
Background:
- Intraoperative monitoring of bulbocavernosus reflexes (BCRs) is crucial for infants undergoing tethered cord syndrome surgery.
- Establishing optimal electric stimulation parameters ensures accurate BCR assessment.
