Outline of Final Research Achievements

Measurements of motor evoked potentials are considered as useful to avoid the occurrence of motor paralysis during craniotomy. However, methods of measurements and anesthesia suitable for motor evoked potentials during craniotomy were not established.
By this study, methods of measurements and anesthesia suitable for motor evoked potentials during craniotomy are almost established.
I wrote a paper as a co-author, and presented at the meeting of anesthesia society in Japan and USA. And I wrote books about methods of measurements and anesthesia, served as an instructor at the training session for clinical technologists.
