阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征(obstructivesleepapneasyndrome,OSAS)的神经精神损害是其主要并发症之一,现已认定它是引起成人痴呆的病因之一[1],本文综述了近年来用事件相关电位(eventrelatedpotential,ERP)评估OSAS患者的认知功能,用听觉脑干反应(auditorybrainstemresponse,ABR)评估其脑干生理功能,治疗前后其电生理变化及儿童OSAS患者的诱发电位研究进展情况。 Neuropsychiatric damage to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is one of its major complications, and it has been identified as one of the causes of dementia in adults [1]. This review summarizes the recent progress in the use of event-related potentials (ERP) to evaluate the cognitive function of patients with OSAS. The auditory brainstem response (ABR) was used to evaluate the physiological function of brainstem, the electrophysiological changes before and after treatment, and the progress of evoked potentials in children with OSAS.
