  • Title: Intraoperative electrical stimulation of the stapedius reflex in children.
    Author: Lindström B, Bredberg G.
    Journal: Am J Otol; 1997 Nov; 18(6 Suppl):S118-9. PubMed ID: 9391626.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To describe the use of intraoperative electrical stimulation on the stapedius reflex in children. SETTING: Hospital cochlear implantation center. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eighteen children under the age of 10 years, who have undergone cochlear implantation, have been examined during surgery with the electrically elicited stapedius reflex in the monopolar stimulation mode. RESULTS: A stapedius reflex could visually be detected for all subjects. CONCLUSION: The responses serve to test the implant, provide guidance in avoiding overstimulation of the child when the device is switched on, and estimate the optimal C-levels.
