Effects of increasing sevoflurane MAC levels on mid-latency auditory evoked potentials in infants, schoolchildren, and the elderly

MLAEP latencies increase at the influence of sevoflurane in a dose-dependent manner and in relation to age. These results imply that MLAEP detection is a reasonable tool for monitoring hypnotic effects at all ages. Further studies are required to standardize MLAEP alterations related to effects of medication used for general anaesthesia at all different ages.
