[Clinical comparative study of caloric test with water or air in healthyindividuals and diagnosing study on air caloric test].
摘要
①Air caloric test can satisfied the needs of clinical assessment of horizontal semicircular canal function, and can make patients feel more comfortable. However, due to the weak intensity of nystagmus, water caloric test has to be used when the SPV value is too low. ②In this study, the upper limit of the CP value of the air caloric test in healthy individuals was 0.21, which is quite different from the upper limit of the standard value was 0.25 of the water caloric test. Therefore, the laboratory should establish their own reference value of the laboratory caloric test, and should not blindly apply the standard value of the water caloric test as the standard of the hemiplegia of the unilateral semicircular canal. The results of this study suggest that air caloric test can be used instead of water caloric test in clinic. And if the patient has no contraindications, air caloric test can be used as a priority.
