Curphey Peaks [SEP] continent
Curphey Peaks
The Curphey Peaks () are two snow-covered peaks of approximately similar height (the western peak being high), the two peaks bounding the east side of Helix Pass in the Bowers Mountains, a major mountain range within Victoria Land, Antarctica. They were named by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1983 after Ian Curphey, the field leader of M.G. Laird's New Zealand Antarctic Research Program geological party to the area, 1974–75. The peaks lie situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion
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
