Improvement in auditory and visual evoked potentials in jaundiced preterm infants after exchange transfusion.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two preterm infants with peak serum bilirubin concentrations of 270 mumol/l and 200 mumol/l, respectively showed improvement in the wave peak latencies of the auditory and visual evoked potentials after exchange transfusion. The implications of this observation and the use of evoked potential recording in neonatal jaundice are discussed.

One year outcome of babies with severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and reversible abnormality in brainstem auditory evoked responses.
Brainstem auditory evoked responses (BAER) were longitudinally recorded prospectively in 18 term infants with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (NHB) (total serum bilirubin > 15 mg/dl). Seven neonates had abnormal BAER. Wave complex IV-V was absent in eight recordings in NHB group while they were normal in the control group (p < 0.001). Prolongation of latency of waves I and V and interwave conductio...

Background: ABO incompatibility hemolytic disease of the newborn is a common cause of clinical jaundice and causes two-thirds of the hemolytic disease in newborns. This study was undertaken to determine the frequency of ABO incompatibility hemolytic disease and its complications in newborns undergoing exchange transfusion.Methods: This prospective and descriptive study was performed in jaundice...
متن کاملHearing and Neurological Impairment in Children with History of Exchange Transfusion for Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia
The objective was to determine frequency of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), identified by abnormal threshold in evoked potentials, absence of otoacoustic emissions and behavioral responses, auditory neuropathy (AN) (absence of evoked potentials, with preservation of otoacoustic emissions), and neurological comorbidity in infants with hyperbilirubinemia (HB) treated with exchange-transfusion ...
متن کاملIdentification of sensory neural hearing loss in very preterm infants by brainstem auditory evoked potentials.
Brainstem auditory evoked potentials were recorded in 117 newborn infants of less than 33 weeks of gestation. The potentials were absent in 10 infants (bilaterally in eight and unilaterally in two) and present in 107. By 1 year of age nine of the 10 infants with absent brainstem auditory evoked potentials were shown to have sensory neural hearing loss and required hearing aids: the remaining in...
متن کاملUniform treatment thresholds for hyperbilirubinemia in preterm infants: background and synopsis of a national guideline.
BACKGROUND To prevent severe hyperbilirubinemia and bilirubin neurotoxicity, the American Academy of Pediatrics' management guideline for hyperbilirubinemia in near term infants is used worldwide. A leading guideline for jaundiced preterm infants is lacking whereas the risk on severe hyperbilirubinemia is high in these infants. Our aim was to define uniform treatment thresholds for jaundiced pr...
