Abnormal brain stem potentials in infants with threatened sudden infant death syndrome.
Fifteen infants at risk for sudden infant death syndrome by clinical criteria were tested using brain stem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) techniques. All infants demonstrated abnormalities on two or more of the seven criteria employed to assess results. The data indicate that BAEP testing may play a significant role in the identification and monitoring of these children.
