Visual evoked and brain stem auditory evoked potentials in divers.

Abstract

Visual evoked potentials (VEP) were examined in 14 divers during dives to 360 metres of seawater (msw). All latencies increased significantly with depth. VEP and brain stem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) were similarly examined in 18 divers before and after these dives. N75 was significantly increased after compared to before the dive, while there was no significant difference in the P100 and N145 latencies. BAEP I-V latency was significantly decreased after the dives. VEP and BAEP were examined in 156 divers and 99 controls. There was no significant difference in VEP. BAEP I-III interpeak latency was significantly increased for the divers, but with no significant changes in I-V and III-V latencies. VEP and BAEP were examined in 26 divers after treatment for neurological decompression sickness. There was no significant difference compared to the control group. The conclusions are that VEP and BAEP change transitorily with influence of hyperbaric pressure, but do not measure major permanent disturbances in the divers' visual and auditory pathways.
