Abstract
Background: Neurophysiological tests like evoked potentials are diagnostic methods used for monitoring under certain surgery like scoliosis or cochlear implant surgery. It has been demonstrated that these neurophysiological tests can be altered by anesthetics like halogenated drugs.
Objective: This protocol study describes the trial which will be undertaken to determine whether propofol alters the acoustic stapedius reflex during neurophysiological studies in children under anesthesia.
Methods: observational case-control study in children under 18 years scheduled for auditory evoked potential under anesthesia.
Conclusion: This study will determine whether propofol anesthesia alters acoustically induced stapedius reflex in children.
