Background:

Evoked potentials (EP) changes reflect nervous system status.
Low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) hinders accurate latency change detection in EPs.
Time-varying EP amplitudes complicate latency estimation.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an adaptive algorithm for precise latency change estimation in EPs.
To address challenges posed by low SNR and time-varying amplitudes in EP signals.
To improve diagnostic capabilities for neurological conditions through accurate EP analysis.

Main Methods:

An adaptive algorithm was designed to estimate small latency changes in EP signals.
The algorithm handles time-varying signal amplitudes effectively.

The algorithm prioritizes signals with higher SNR for delay estimation.

The algorithm was validated using intra-operative somatosensory EP recordings.

Main Results:

The adaptive algorithm provides unbiased latency estimates with error less than half the sampling interval for time-invariant delays.
Estimation error variance is reduced by prioritizing higher SNR signals.
The algorithm successfully detected anesthetic-induced changes in EP amplitude and latency.
Etomidate was identified as causing a step change in somatosensory EP signals.

Conclusions:

The developed adaptive algorithm enhances the accuracy of latency change detection in EPs.
This method is valuable for monitoring neurological status, especially in challenging intra-operative conditions.
The findings highlight etomidate's specific effects on EP characteristics during anesthesia.
