The relation between electroencephalographic pattern changes and cerebral ischemia during carotid endarterectomy under general anesthesia is well established. Pattern changes seen on somatosensory evoked potentials under the same conditions are reported to be more sensitive indicators of cerebral ischemia. We estimated the sensitivity and specificity of somatosensory evoked potentials relative to electroencephalography for detecting cerebral ischemia during carotid endarterectomy under general anesthesia.
