Method 144 CP patients below 10 years were successfully performed SPR at L&R under combined intravenous and inhalation anesthesia (CIIA) in prone position with threshold values of each nerve root being measured by means of nerve root electric stimulus (NRES). Result All patients were performed SPR and NRES successfully although blood pressure and heart rate increased significantly while NRES. Conclusion CIIA is safe and effective for juvenile CP patients to be performed SPR at L&R.展开更多
