Somatosensory-evoked potentials in term neonates with postasphyxial encephalopathy

Clin Perinatol. 1993 Jun;20(2):463-82.

Abstract

This article reviews the use of median nerve somatosensory-evoked potentials in full-term neonates with postasphyxial encephalopathy. The predictive value of this technique with regard to neurodevelopmental outcome is compared with that of clinical assessment and cranial ultrasonography.
