VEP Under TIVA
Patients undergoing prone spine surgery will receive an anesthesia regimen using propofol (TIVA) for maintenance VEP under TIVA: Propofol will be administered for anesthesia maintenance in patients randomized to the TIVA arm of the study. In order to record the VEPs, standard half-inch sub-dermal needle electrodes will be inserted subcutaneously around the visual area and the SightSaverTM visual stimulator will be placed to monitor VEP during surgery. Propofol: Propofol will be administered for anesthesia maintenance in patients randomized to the TIVA arm of the study. In order to record the VEPs, standard half-inch sub-dermal needle electrodes will be inserted subcutaneously around the visual area and the SightSaverTM visual stimulator will be placed to monitor VEP during surgery.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Every 30 minutes during surgery for up to 6 hours

VEP waveforms were evaluated using either present baseline - reproducible positive-negative-positive complex of substantial amplitude (≥2 µV) that appeared 100-200 ms after pulse stimulus onset; marginal Baseline - low amplitude (\<2 µV) reproducible P100 waveform; or absent baseline - no repeatable response present. Any activity of \<0.5 µV was not considered a response. Best derivation for each particular patient was used for monitoring electroretinogram (ERG) recording and confirming the stimulation.
