Ethical considerations in functional magnetic resonance imaging research in acutely comatose patients
Estimating the likelihood of recovery of cognitive function in the acutely comatose patient is one of the most difficult challenges facing neurologists and critical care physicians. Coma, defined as a state of unarousable unconsciousness, is most commonly caused by traumatic brain injury and anoxia following cardiopulmonary arrest. Patient outcome after severe brain injury is highly variable (Y...

متن کاملThe acutely comatose patient: clinical approach and diagnosis.
A patient's acute and persistent unresponsiveness in the emergency department often triggers a neurology consultation. Given the many potential causes of unresponsiveness, the initial objective of the neurologist should be a comprehensive history and physical examination, which should allow localization of the lesion, if possible, and an initial narrowing of the differential diagnosis. In addit...
متن کاملPatterns of arousal in comatose patients.
The EEG changes, with associated cardiorespiratory phenomena and, where possible, postmortem findings, are described in six patients in coma, with some reference to other similar cases. Spontaneously occurring periodic changes were observed at varying intervals between 20 s and 4 min but most commonly at 1/2-2 min. These involved simultaneous cardiorespiratory, EEG, and somatic motor phenomena ...
