If somatosensory-evoked potentials change significantly, the anesthesia provider should consider

  1. Increasing blood pressure

  2. Hyperventilating the patient

  3. Cooling the patient

  4. Hemodilution

solution

Medications are not the only variables that affect somatosensory-evoked potentials, as changes in physiology can also alter latency and amplitude. Amplitude decreases during episodes of hypotension, hypoxia, and hyperthermia. Latency can be increased during hypothermia, hypocarbia, and hemodilution/anemia.
