Περίληψη: Purpose: These consensus guidelines by the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society (ACNS) describe best practices for performing intraoperative Electrocorticography (ioECoG) using subdural or depth electrodes for adult and pediatric population.
Methods: A group of ACNS members was convened to develop technical standards for performing ioECoG. PubMed searches were performed to identify pertinent peer-reviewed literature. Sections were assigned to individual authors based on expertise. Consensus was achieved during subsequent group discussions to develop evidence-based recommendations to the extent possible.
Recommendations: Communication between the neurosurgical and the neurophysiology teams is essential in verifying and documenting the location of the contacts. Most authors recommend ioECoG recordings of at least 5 and up to 30 minutes in duration to allow for sufficient observation of interictal activity. The anesthesia should be adjusted to allow continuous EEG activity and to minimize the effect on the ioECoG recording during general anesthesia or awake surgery. The surgical procedure and technical report should separate ioECoG recordings to define the irritative zone from ioECoG findings during functional mapping. The neurophysiology physician's physical presence in the operating room is required in the definition of the services.
Conclusion: These consensus guidelines by the ACNS describe best practices for performing intraoperative ECoG based on published literature and expert consensus.
