Abstract EN
Objectives.
To review our experience of conducting auditory brainstem response (ABR) test on children in the operating room and discuss the benefits versus limitations of this practice.
Methods.
Retrospective review study conducted in a pediatric tertiary care facility.
A total of 267 patients identified with usable data, including ABR results, medical and surgical notes, and follow-up evaluation.
Results.
Hearing status successfully determined in all patients based on the ABR results form the operating room.
The degrees and the types of hearing loss also documented in most of the cases.
In addition, multiple factors that may affect the outcomes of ABR in the operating room identified.
Conclusions.
Hearing loss in children with complicated medical issues can be accurately evaluated via ABR testing in the operating room.
Efforts should be made to eliminate adverse factors to ABR recording, and caution should be taken when interpreting ABR results from the operating room.
