Caloric Vestibular Test with the Use of Air
Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1979In a group of 28 test subjects the vestibular caloric test was performed with the aid of two different methods. In the first method the ears were irrigated for 30 sec with water with a temperature of 30 C and 44 C, in the second method the ears were subjected to an airstream with a temperature of 30 C and 44 C and later on with an airstream with a ...

A Simple Quantitative Caloric Test
Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1958In a recent article, Hitschler 2 described a simple caloric test in which he used water at a constant temperature (36-37 F) for a definite period of time (5 seconds). He stated that the time during which the water is in contact with the eardrum is the important factor, not the amount of water, and that severe reactions are uncommon in this procedure ...

Clinical Evaluation of the Monothermal Caloric Test
Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1993The Torok monothermal Caloric Test has been described as offering a strong advantage over bithermal caloric testing because it can distinguish labyrinthine from retrolabyrinthine lesions. Weak and strong irrigations of room‐temperature water are administered to each ear and the ratios of strong to weak nystagmus responses compared to those of normal ...

Screening methods for caloric testing
Clinical Otolaryngology, 1987In order to evaluate the screening capacity and the reliability of monothermal caloric stimulation, the caloric results obtained in 272 patients have been reviewed. The results of a complete bithermal 4-test-set are compared with the results of the hot and cold stimulation considered separately.

Simplification of Clinical Caloric Test
Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1965THE FACT that thermic stimuli, when applied to the external auditory canal, could induce labyrinthine nystagmus was known by Brown-Sequard3as early as 1860, and Bornhardt2was the first to apply this knowledge experimentally by inducing caloric stimulation of the semicircular canals of pigeons.

A comparison of the monothermal and bithermal caloric tests
Journal of Vestibular Research, 2003This study considered whether the monothermal (MT) caloric test could predict the normality of the full conventional bithermal (BT) caloric test, and therefore be an alternative to full caloric investigation. This would have the advantages of reducing test time and patient discomfort as only two caloric tests would be needed instead of four.

Vestibular Hyperreactivity in the Differential Caloric Test
ORL, 1973This paper presents a retrospective study of patients with vestibular hyperreactivity as evaluated by the total duration of nystagmus in the Hallpike differential caloric test. In our material on otoneurological patients, the condition was not more common than in normal populations. On the other hand, there were two groups of patients, viz.

Comparison of vestibular autorotation and caloric testing
Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1995The two most common stimuli of the vestibular system for diagnostic purposes are caloric and rotational head movements. Caloric stimulation, by delivering thermal energy to the lateral semicircular canal, is a well‐studied method of vestibular testing, and its clinical usefulness has been established. Vestibular autorotation testing uses high‐frequency

VALUE OF THE CALORIC TEST OF THE LABYRINTH
Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1948THE CALORIC test is an easy way of examining the function of the vestibular organ. The results of the test are used not only in otologic practices, for ascertaining the remainder of function left in cases of labyrinthitis or other labyrinthine deviations, but also in neurologic or otoneurologic practices, for other purposes.

Caloric Tests on Platform: “Paradoxical Responsiveness”
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1995This paper deals with the abnormal responsiveness of the paradoxical stabilizing type (SR) occurring after caloric tests (CALT) performed on a passive force platform. The normal response after CALT (cold/warm, monaurally performed) consists of transient ataxia and body sway towards the side of the nystagmic slow phase induced by a similar CALT ...
