Successful application and timing of a remote network for intraoperative objective measurements during cochlear implantation surgery.

Objective: To determine the time needed to remotely perform a set of intraoperative measurements during cochlear implantation surgery and to compare it to the time needed to perform the same measurements in theatre.

Design: Prospective two-arm study comparing a local with a remote measurement setting. Three intraoperative measurements (Impedance Field Telemetry (IFT), evoked compound action potential (ECAP) and evoked stapedius reflex test (eSRT)) were performed with the audiologist present in the operating theatre (i.
