Medical Student: Nerve Conduction Study Basics-Dr. Gwathmey Presentation

Dr. Gwathmey Presentation

Pdf Summary

The document summarizes a talk on Upper and Lower Extremity Nerve Conduction Studies given by Kelly G. Gwathmey at Virginia Commonwealth University in 2022. The talk covered various aspects of nerve conduction studies, including anatomy and conduction measurements for the median, ulnar, and radial nerves in the upper extremities, as well as the fibular, tibial, and femoral nerves in the lower extremities. The different recording and stimulation sites for each nerve were described, along with the amplitude, conduction velocity, peak latency, and distance measurements for each study. Additionally, the talk mentioned the use of comparison studies for median and ulnar nerves, as well as studies for the medial and lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerves. The phrenic nerve conduction study for the diaphragm was also discussed, including the recording and stimulation sites, as well as the measurements for amplitude, conduction velocity, peak latency, and distance. The document also provided references for further reading and instructions for claiming CME credits and providing feedback.
