Reliability of caloric testing

Irish Journal of Medical Science (1971 -), 2021
To assess the long-term stability of caloric testing in patients.In this retrospective study, Cronbach's alpha was used to determine whether caloric testing results are stable over time (up to 7 years) in patients who have not undergone interventions.

The Caloric Test in the Cat

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1961
A simple device for fixing both head and body of the cat was designed so that the nystagmic reaction to caloric stimulation could be investigated. Nystagmographie tracings of both ordinary and derived nystagmus were obtained being relatively free of artifacts induced by movements.In order to produce a caloric reaction in the cat, it was necessary to ...

The caloric irrigation test

2016
The test of caloric thermal irrigations is one of the first tests for sensitivity of the peripheral vestibular systems dating to the late 1800s. This chapter reviews the various protocols that have been developed over the years using thermal irrigations to the external auditory canals.

Caloric Tests

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1984
The caloric test is still the most useful vestibular test by far. Rotatory tests may allow more accurate control of the stimulus and the response parameters may vary less in normal individuals, but only the caloric test allows individual testing of each ear.

A Simple Caloric Test

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1957
There are many caloric tests; some are simple, some are complex. They vary in accuracy and in the amount of information obtainable. We are all familiar with most of these. There is no reason to discuss them at this time. The test described here is certainly not new (although I have not seen it in the literature) and is probably used by many of us.

Extended Caloric Tests

Ear and Hearing, 1986
The standard ABB remains the most popular test of vestibular function. The use of air caloric irrigations or the closed loop water system seem to be scientifically sound alternatives to the use of open water irrigation. Although controversy still surrounds the use of monothermal warm calorics as a screening test, several studies have shown its ...

The caloric vestibular test in weightlessness

Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 1987
Although the theoretical background for the caloric vestibular test was assumed to be known, recent studies in weightlessness have thrown doubts on the original theory of its mechanism. It is most likely that several mechanisms are involved in the generation of caloric nystagmus in addition to the convection current theory. Experiments with the caloric

Evaluation of the monothermal caloric test

The Laryngoscope, 1989
AbstractIn 1970, Torok reported that patients with labyrinthine disease showed vestibular recruitment and that patients with retrolabyrinthine disease showed vestibular decruitment on the monothermal caloric test. Other investigators have failed to confirm these findings; however, their studies did not precisely replicate Torok's test procedure ...

Caloric Tests In Deaf Children

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1965
T THERE ARE only a few reports in the literature concerning the vestibular reactivity in children that suffer from severe sensorineural impairment of hearing. Shambaugh et al 13 collected, in 1930, information about 5,348 children from schools for the deaf in the US.

A microbiological hazard in caloric testing

British Journal of Audiology, 1991
The use of caloric testing is widespread in hospital audiology departments. This paper describes contamination of the caloric water tanks with the organism Acinetobacter anitratus and the changes in practice instituted to eliminate this risk to patients.
