Intra- and inter-raters reliability and agreement of stimulus electrodiagnostic tests with two different electrodes in sedated critically ill patients.

CONCLUSION: The SET presented high reliability and moderate agreement in intra-rater evaluations. A fair agreement was found in the inter-rater assessment of the tibialis anterior. Evaluations performed with different electrode sizes did not influence the results. Therefore, the SET should be performed by a unique rater in test retest situations.
