TLDR
Brain-stem auditory evoked potential measurements in the intensive care unit found BAEPs of a quality satisfactory for diagnosis were found in 90% of patients, but about 10% of the measurements were distorted by artifacts and could not be used for diagnostic purposes.
Abstract
Ninety patients were subjected to brain-stem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) measurements in the intensive care unit. The data are analyzed and discussed with respect to their quality, reliability, and reproducibility. BAEPs of a quality satisfactory for diagnosis were found in 90% of the patients. About 10% of the measurements were distorted by artifacts and could not be used for diagnostic purposes. Reasons for these artifacts and problems of interpretation are discussed. Examples of single BAEPs and on-line monitoring of BAEPs in the form of "compressed BAEPs" are shown.

Continuous multivariable monitoring in neurological intensive care patients--preliminary reports on four cases.

TL;DR: First experience with a new bed-side system continuously monitoring 12 neurophysiological and clinical parameters is reported, developed to support the observation of ICU patients as well as to aid therapeutic decisions.

Electroencephalographic and evoked potential monitoring in the hyperbaric environment

TL;DR: Spontaneous brain electrical activity, somatosensory evoked potentials, and heart rate variability were not significantly affected during hyperbaric oxygénation, whereas the heart rate showed a significant decrease, according to pairedt test.

Continuous brainstem auditory evoked potential monitoring during nocturnal sleep.

TL;DR: The results confirm that, as previously reported, the slight BAEP latency modifications observed during sleep are correlated to body temperature variations.

Misreporting Among Reluctant Respondents

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the relationship between response propensity and measurement error, specifically, motivated misreporting, the tendency to give inaccurate answers to speed through an interview, and find only limited evidence that reluctant respondents are more likely to misreport.
