Abstract
In a series of six anaesthetized children we have been unable to demonstrate any effect of anaesthetic concentrations of halothane or thiopentone on the brainstem auditory-evoked response. The results imply preservation of brain stem function during anaesthesia with these drugs and suggest future application of anaesthesia to the testing of hearing disabilities in children, as well as application of evoked response audiometry to neurological critical care. Chez six enfants anesthésiés, nous avons été incapables de démontrer un effet quelconque de concentrations anesthésiques ďhalothane ou de thiopenthal sur la réponse du tronc cérébral á des stimuli auditifs. Ces résultats indiquent qu’il y a préservation de la fonction au niveau du tronc cérébral au cours ďanesthésie avec ces deux agents et laissent entrevoir une utilisation prochaine de ľanesthésie dans ľévaluation de problèmes auditifs chez ľenfant, ainsi qu’une application de ce même test au niveau des unités de soins intensifs neurologiques.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
