“…Eftekharian et al concluded in their study that the depth of general anesthesia (inhalational) can have significant influence on the e-ECAP thresholds, and it is important to reduce the depth of anesthesia to achieve better results [5]. Also, in a previous study, the authors compared the effect of the TIVA and the effect of inhalational anesthesia on the e-ECAPs, which resulted in higher e-ECAP thresholds within the inhalational anesthetic group [7].…”

Purpose This study aims to compare the effect of the depth of total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) on intraoperative electrically evoked compound action potential (e-ECAP) thresholds in cochlear implant operations. Methods Prospectively, a total of 39 patients aged between 1 and 48 years who were scheduled to undergo cochlear implantation surgeries were enrolled in this study. Every patient received both light and deep TIVA during the cochlear implant surgery. The e-ECAP thresholds were obtained during the light and deep TIVA. Results After comparing the e-ECAP means for each electrode (lead) between the light and deep anesthesia, no significant differences were detected between the light and deep anesthesia. Conclusion The depth of TIVA may have no significant influence on the e-ECAP thresholds as there was no statistical difference between the light and deep anesthesia.
