چکیده

Increased recent interest in the middle latency response (MLR) has necessitated a clarification of the possible effects of anesthesia on the response. Our study was designed to examine the changes, in the guinea pig MLR, which occurred during anesthesia with ketamine, xylazine or both ketamine and xylazine. Under anesthesia the response remained present and the threshold remained stable. After anesthesia, significant changes in amplitude, latency, and general morphology of the waveform took place, however these were consistent and predictable. For studies requiring the MLR, it is best to avoid anesthetic agents. However, with care the MLR can be used as a reliable measure of auditory system sensitivity under anesthesia.

Anesthesia and surgical trauma: their influence on the guinea pig compound action potential.

A chronic implant consisting of a fine thermocouple placed on the round window permitted measurement of temperature and of the compound action potential (CAP) of the cochlear nerve in guinea pigs. Thresholds and latencies of the CAP, in response to tone bursts (2-40 kHz), were measured when the animal was awake and unrestrained, and again after several hours of anesthesia. The CAP remained unch...

Effect of electrical stimulation on middle latency response in the guinea pig.

A temporary threshold shift (TTS) has been demonstrated in the electrically evoked middle latency response (EMLR) following exposure to moderate levels of continuous electrical stimulation via a cochlear implant. The threshold at which the EMLR was elicited in chronically implanted guinea pigs was elevated by approximately 100% following 30 minutes of moderate intensity (200 microA or more) sin...

Click-evoked myogenic potentials recorded on alert guinea pigs.

The aim of this study was to establish an animal model of acoustically evoked vestibulo-collic reflex using guinea pigs. A special clamp was applied to restrain the head and body of the guinea pigs, but leaving its four legs free. Each animal underwent vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) and caloric tests using clip electrode method without general anesthesia or decerebrate surgery. The...
