Irral Conductivity In Children With Acute Polyneuropathy In The Background Of Treatment

Abstract

In children, neural conduction is reduced and has age-related characteristics as a result of the process of myelination, which continues until the child's 10 years of age, the absence of changes in the maximum STI during the period of clinical manifestation of symptoms in AIDP, as well as high interindividual variability of STI indicators in childhood, requires the search for new additional ENMG indicators for assessing the conductive properties of peripheral nerves [3,2]. For this purpose, a stress test can be used, thanks to which it is also possible to assess the reserve capabilities of the peripheral nervous system, as well as to study the effect of short-term local ischemia of peripheral nerves, the so-called turnstile test, on the conductivity and excitability of axons. When carrying out a turnstile test in adults, it was shown that nerve fibers in various pathological conditions are resistant to ischemia. It is assumed that the changes in neural conduction detected during the turnstile test in adults are early signs of the onset of polyneuropathy [5,7,8].
