Corneal Abrasion and Visual Evoked Potentials Monitoring: Causes and Prevention
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Aims: The objective of this review is to explore the methods of eye protection from corneal abrasions during general anesthesia as they relate to procedures utilizing visual evoked potentials (VEP) monitoring. Because these protective measures may lower the accuracy of the VEP equipment, we wish to establish through existing literature current effective eye protection (with a focus on Tegaderm™) and why they could potentially interfere with VEP recording.
