Significance of brain stem auditory evoked potential and somatosensory evoked potential on prognosis evaluation in patients with acute cerebral infarction / 中华创伤杂志

Objective To investigate changes of brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP)and somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) in patients with acute cerebral infarction,and discuss their relation with prognosis of the patients.Methods The study involved 60 patients with acute cerebral infarction.Changes of BAEP and SEP in each patient were detected and recorded continuously.Prognosis evaluation was performed by using GCS.Another 60 age-matched and gender-matched healthy human beings were enrolled as controls.Results Incubation period of BAEP wave Ⅰ had no significant difference between the cerebral infarction and control groups (P ＞ 0.05).However,interspike intervals of other BAEP waves in cerebral infarction group were different from those in control group (P ＜ 0.05).A series of waves of SEP (P14-N60) were all significantly prolonged in cerebral infarction group (P ＜0.05).Conclusion BAEP and SEP can effectively reflect function of brain stem in patients with acute cerebral infarction and have some values in determining their prognosis.

Value of brainstem auditory evoked potential in diagnosing cerebral palsy / 中国基层医药

Objective To study the handicap of hearing and brain stem function in cerebral palsy children through determining their brainstem auditory evoked potential(BAEP).Methods BAEP were analyzed in 75 cases admissioned cerebral palsy children with MYTO type evoked potential equipment(made in Italy).Results The data showed that the abnormal BAEP rate was 72%(54/72),abnormity manifests as infaust differentiation of brainstem waves in diverse level,the latencies of wave Ⅰ,the interpeak latencies(IPLS) of wave Ⅰ～Ⅲ,Ⅲ～Ⅴ of BAEP in children with cerebral palsy were prolonged,the ratios of Ⅴ/Ⅰ wave amplitude was abnormal.Conclusion BAEP can be used to find out the changes of hearing handicap and brainstem function in children with cerebral palsy.

Feasibility of application of auditory evoked potential index in guiding target-controlled infusion of propofol / 第三军医大学学报

0 05)respeetively before induction, which shoued no statistic difference between two groups.AEP index and BIS of two groups after induction were decreased to below 30 a nd 55 respeetively(T 1 vs. T 0 ,P0 01) ) . The changing tendency of the elderly group and the young group were identical a t all time points. Conclusions AEP index can be used for the anesthesia depth monitoring for the elderly without obvious auditory dysfunction during tracheal intubation.

Comparison between the performance of bispectral index and auditory evoked potential index to predict the level of consciousness during propofol sedation with target-controlled infusion / 中华麻醉学杂志

0.05) . AEP index increased sharply from 42 to 67 when the patients regained consciousness (OAA/S increased from 2 to 3) but BIS increased gradually from 64 to 72 indicating that AEP index had better discriminatory performance. OAA/S correlated fairly well with BIS , AEP index and target-controlled concentration of propofol and r was 0.781, 0.684 and - 0.580 respectively. Conclusions Both AEP index and BIS can predict fairly well the level of sedation but AEP index prooes to be better in distinguishing conscious from unconscious.
