title: [Acoustically evoked brain stem potentials in acute alcoholic intoxication].
abstract: Under the acute influence of alcohol with blood alcohol concentrations (BAK) ranging between 0.62 to 2.04%, the IPL prolongations of our subjects were within standard deviations compared with normal data. Depending on the BAK, these minor IPL alterations hint at a special vulnerability in the pontomesodiencephal area. The increase in BAK significantly correlates with the reduction of body temperature. The BAEP proves to be suitable for defining undear states of coma different origin.
