60 young children (3-6 years old) without any history of ear diseases were tested by caloric stimulation (30 degrees C and 44 degrees C). Distribution into the groups "with sedation" and "without sedation" was done following a statistical key. Sedation was achieved by intramusculair injection of Valium, considering age and weight of the subjects. Nystagmus registration was done by ENG. The following quantitative reductions in the observed nystagmus parameters could be shown: number of beats: 19% +/- 5%, maximal angular velocity of the slow phase: 24% +/- 11%, total amplitude: 24% +/- 11%. This experiment shows that Valium can be very well used in the sedation of young children for caloric vestibular testing, a quantitative variation of the response has to be considered.
