ABSTRACT
Of 32 cases suffering from acute carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) abnormalities were exhibited in 8 cases. the abnormalities of BAEPs could be divided into two patterns a peripheral pattern (6 cases) of prolongation of latency to wave 1 without prolongation of interpeak latency, and a central pattern (2 cases) of prolongation of latencies to all waves and interpeak latencies. The indicence of BAEP abnormality tended to increase in accordance with an unconscious duration of more than 24 hours; during acute CO poisoning. A BAEP abnormality exhibiting a peripheral pattern usually returned to normal within one month after anoxia, but cases showing central pattern of BAEP abnormality died during acute anoxic insult due to the possible involvement of the brainstem. Thus, BAEPs can be used for evaluating the functional intergrity of the auditory pathways and for providing prognostic values in acute CO poisoning.
