Summary of individual results from cardiac arrest patients (cases) and patients with myocardial infarction but normal consciousness (controls).
| Preserved responses after cardiac arrest (n = 10 cases) | Preserved responses after myocardial infarction (n = 10 controls) | |
|---|---|---|
| Auditory brainstem response audiometry 45 dB nHL | 1r,l; 2l | 3r,l; 5r,l; 6r,l; 7r,l; 8r,l; 10r,l |
| TEOAE | 1r; 5l | 2r,l; 3l,r; 6r,l; 8r; 10r,l |
| DPOAE 1 kHz | 6l | 2l; 5l,r; 7r; 8r; 10r,l |
| DPOAE 1.5 kHz | 1r; 5l; 6l | 2r,l; 3r,l; 5r,l; 6r,l; 8r,l; 9r; 10r,l |
| DPOAE 2 kHz | 1r, 6l, 7r | 2r; 3r,l; 4r; 5r; 6l,r; 8r,l; 9r; 10r,l |
| DPOAE 3 kHz | 1r, l | 3r,l; 6r; 7r,l; 8r,l; 9r;10r,l |
| DPOAE 4 kHz | 1r; 6r | 3r,l; 4r; 7r,l; 8r; 9r |
| DPOAE 6 kHz |
Only preserved responses are listed. Auditory brainstem responses could not be acquired in 3 controls due to excessive facial hair growth (patient 4), signal loss for technical reasons (patient 2), and complaints of lightheadedness (patient 9), respectively. DPOAE, distortion product otoacoustic emissions; l, left ear; r, right ear; TEOAE, transient evoked otoacoustic emissions; numbers denote individual patients. dB nHL, decibel normalized hearing level.
