Visual evoked potentials (VEPs) are easily recorded in the neonatal intensive care setting using light-emitting diode goggles as the flash stimulus. They are sensitive measures of CNS integrity and are altered or abolished by hypoxia. Prognosis in newborns with birth asphyxia or hypoxia is difficult to predict; however, the VEPs have been shown to be very helpful. Absent VEPs carry a poor prognosis; persistently abnormal, i.e., beyond 1 week, also predict abnormal outcome. Normal VEPs by 1 week have an accuracy rate around 90% for normal outcome.
使用发光二极管护目镜作为闪光刺激，在新生儿重症监护环境中很容易记录视觉诱发电位（VEP）。它们是中枢神经系统完整性的敏感指标，会因缺氧而改变或消失。患有出生窒息或缺氧的新生儿的预后很难预测；然而，已证明VEP非常有帮助。VEP缺失预后不良；持续异常，即超过1周，也预示着异常结果。1周时VEP正常对于正常结果的准确率约为90%。
