The purpose of the study was to develop and validate a flicker electroretinogram (ERG) protocol through closed eyelids in term-born neonates as a potential tool for assessing preterm infants at risk of developing retinopathy of prematurity. Healthy term-born neonates were included and measurable results could be obtained for all babies with an intensity of 30cd-s/m². Implicit time was decreasing and Amplitudes were increasing with increasing light stimulus intensities.
Conclusão: Flicker ERG recording is feasible and reliably recorded in sleeping neonates through closed eyelids using skin electrodes and without mydriasis.
