Far-field auditory evoked potentials in near-miss sudden infant death syndrome.
Auditory evoked potentials (AEPs) were determined in 16 patients with near-miss sudden infant death syndrome. The AEPs were normal in all patients except one with prolonged 1 to V interpeak latency (bilaterally) and another with an asymmetry of interear 1 to V interpeak latency difference. These results indicate that AEPs do not permit detection of infants at high risk for crib death.
