Abstract
This short communication paper was intended to provide an insight towards application of Physics into the field of Clinical Pediatrics and Neonatology through studies on evaluation of Brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) in preterm infants. BAEP testing had high sensitivity and specificity in detecting sensorineural hearing loss; high risk infants demonstrated prolonged wave I latency; the peak V latency and I to V interval latency decreased with increasing conceptional age; shortening of the I-V interval and increase in wave I latency, wave I latency was inversely related to infant’s weight; BAEP findings were correlated with diffusion tensor imaging, and BAEPs did not provide much diagnostic values in infants without hearing impairments when correlated with MRI findings. The existing evidence supported the use of BAEPs in pediatric/ neonatologic examination of preterm infants.
