- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Outcome is based on the intra-operative reliability of measured potentials calculated on basis of ratio of the number of muscles with reliable potentials to the number of muscles monitored. <br/ ><br>Timepoint: Measurements will be taken 30 minutes after the induction of anaesthesia and during critical junctures of surgery. Study ends after recovery from anaesthesia and neurological assessment is completed.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To compare intra-operative reliability of motor evoked potentials with respect to incidence of fresh post-op neurological deficitsTimepoint: Post-operative assessment of fresh neurological deficits will be done after reversal of anaesthesia & patient has awoken. Following neurological assessment the secondary outcome will also have been completed
