Pediatric Evoked Potentials: Principles and Clinical Practice
Pediatric Evoked Potentials: Principles and Clinical Practice
Pediatric electrophysiology requires more than measurement, it requires understanding neurodevelopment.
This lecture will present the state-of-the-art clinical protocols in pediatric auditory electrophysiology, addressing the diagnostic challenges encountered when evaluating hearing in infants and young children.
Key topics include:
- Clinical decision-making in pediatric auditory neurophysiology
- The role of the developmental clock in interpreting electrophysiological responses
- The diagnostic value of evoked potentials when behavioral responses are unavailable or inconclusive
- Clinical management of newborn hearing screening “refer” outcomes
- Neurological localization using ABR interpeak latencies (I–III and III–V)
- Identification and interpretation of Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder (ANSD) through the integration of ABR, cochlear microphonics, and otoacoustic emissions
This session will provide clinicians with practical insights for improving diagnostic accuracy in pediatric electrophysiological assessment.
