Presentation Description / Summary: Evoked potentials (EP) are registered electrical responses of the nervous system upon sensory stimulation through a computer software to test conduction through sensory pathways. Evoked potentials consist of a sequence of peaks (waves), each characterized by latency and amplitude. These potentials are elicited by visual (visual EP = VEP), auditory (auditory EP = AEP) or electrical stimulation of sensory nerves (somatosensory EP = SEP). This lecture will review the use of EP in equine medicine.
Learner Outcomes: 1. To learn the basic principles of evoked potentials for its use in clinical practice. 2. To learn about the clinical applications of visual evoked potentials, brainstem auditory evoked potentials, and sensory nerve conduction with examples of cases.
