Anyone know what this stands for? sssp ? it's some kind of testing used to determine brain function, a step before we do the apnea test.

I am googling everywhere & no luck!

Thanks.

My mistake..it was SEPS

It was a somatosensory test to see cerebral cortex activity in a comatose pt after cardiac arrest in case anyone is wondering what I was asking about. Nevermind!
