Abstract
Volatile anesthetics result in higher e-ECAP thresholds in children, suggesting that e-ECAP thresholds acquired during inhalational anesthesia overestimate auditory nerve stimulation levels, which may cause discomfort postoperatively and adversely affect the child's adaptation to the implant. We recommend the use of total intravenous anesthesia for the measurement of the e-ECAP thresholds during cochlear implant surgery.
