Brainstem evoked response auditory in healthy term neonates with hyperbilirubinemia

Brainstem auditory evoked response in normal term neonates.

Brainstem auditory evoked response (BAER) is a reliable test for neonatal auditory and neurological dysfunction and it permits early diagnosis and rehabilitation. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate latencies of BAER in normal term neonates in order to obtain reference values in a university hospital. BAER was performed in the second day of life in 47 normal newborns (25 male, 22 female...

Effects of Hyperbilirubinemia on Auditory Brainstem Response of Neonates Treated with Phototherapy

Introduction: One of the most common pathologies in neonates is hyperbilirubinemia, which is a good marker for damage to the central nervous system. The sensitivity of the auditory system to bilirubin has been previously documented, with much discrepancy in its effects on Auditory Brainstem Response results. Thus the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of hyperbilirubinemia on ...

Brainstem auditory evoked response in newborns with hyperbilirubinemia.

OBJECTIVE To determine the initial Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response (BAER) abnormalities in neonates with hyperbilirubinemia and the possible reversibility of abnormal BAER after therapy. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING Tertiary care hospital. SUBJECTS 30 term neonates with hyperbilirubinemia (S. bilirubin < 15 mg/dl) as cases and 25 normal term neonates as controls. METHODS ...

Brainstem auditory evoked response in neonates with birth asphyxia.

OBJECTIVE To determine the brainstem auditory evoked response (BAER) abnormalities and their reversibility in neonates with birth asphyxia. DESIGN Prospective case control study. SETTING Tertiary care teaching hospital. METHODS 30 term Neonates with 5-min Apgar < 6 and hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) underwent BAER testing with follow up at 3 months. An equal number of normal term n...
