60 young children (3-6 years old) without any history of ear diseases were tested by caloric stimulation (30 degrees C and 44 degrees C). Distribution into the groups "with sedation" and "without sedation" was done following a statistical key. Sedation was achieved by intramusculair injection of Valium, considering age and weight of the subjects. Nystagmus registration was done by ENG. The following quantitative reductions in the observed nystagmus parameters could be shown: number of beats: 19% +/- 5%, maximal angular velocity of the slow phase: 24% +/- 11%, total amplitude: 24% +/- 11%. This experiment shows that Valium can be very well used in the sedation of young children for caloric vestibular testing, a quantitative variation of the response has to be considered.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007758 Ear, Inner The essential part of the hearing organ consists of two labyrinthine compartments: the bony labyrinthine and the membranous labyrinth. The bony labyrinth is a complex of three interconnecting cavities or spaces (COCHLEA; VESTIBULAR LABYRINTH; and SEMICIRCULAR CANALS) in the TEMPORAL BONE. Within the bony labyrinth lies the membranous labyrinth which is a complex of sacs and tubules (COCHLEAR DUCT; SACCULE AND UTRICLE; and SEMICIRCULAR DUCTS) forming a continuous space enclosed by EPITHELIUM and connective tissue. These spaces are filled with LABYRINTHINE FLUIDS of various compositions.

D004584 Electronystagmography Recording of nystagmus based on changes in the electrical field surrounding the eye produced by the difference in potential between the cornea and the retina. Electronystagmographies
D004585 Electrooculography Recording of the average amplitude of the resting potential arising between the cornea and the retina in light and dark adaptation as the eyes turn a standard distance to the right and the left. The increase in potential with light adaptation is used to evaluate the condition of the retinal pigment epithelium. EOG,Electrooculograms,Electrooculogram
