Webster Peaks
Webster Peaks is a group of four rocky peaks, 1065 m, standing west of Whitecloud Glacier at the head of Charcot Bay on Davis Coast, the west coast of Graham Land in Antarctica. Charted by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1948, and named for W.H.B. Webster, medical officer and naturalist on the Chanticleer, which approached Tower and Trinity Islands off this coast in 1829.
intervention before impairment becomes permanent. Testing with median nerve SEPs is used to identify the sensory and motor cortex during craniotomies and in monitoring surgery at the midcervical or upper cervical levels. Posterior tibial nerve SEP monitoring is widely used for monitoring the spinal cord during scoliosis procedures and other surgical interventions in which the spinal cord is at risk for damage. Recording of far field intracranially generated peaks can facilitate monitoring even when the primary cortical peaks are impaired due to anesthetic agents. Over time, SEP testing and monitoring in surgery have become standard
