Needs and Quality of Life of Caregivers of Patients with Prolonged Disorders of Consciousness

Brain Sciences, 2023
Background. Many patients with severe brain damage may survive and remain in a prolonged disorder of consciousness (PDoC), impacting the quality of life (QoL) and needs of their family caregivers.

Brain, Behavior, and Cognitive Interplay in Disorders of Consciousness: A Multiple Case Study

Frontiers in Neurology, 2018
Patients with prolonged disorders of consciousness (DoC) after severe brain injury may present residual behavioral and cognitive functions. Yet the bedside assessment of these functions is compromised by patients' multiple impairments.

Cerebral electrometabolic coupling in disordered and normal states of consciousness

Cell Reports, 2023
Summary: We assess cerebral integrity with cortical and subcortical FDG-PET and cortical electroencephalography (EEG) within the mesocircuit model framework in patients with disorders of consciousness (DoCs).

A Heartbeat Away From Consciousness: Heart Rate Variability Entropy Can Discriminate Disorders of Consciousness and Is Correlated With Resting-State fMRI Brain Connectivity of the Central Autonomic Network

Frontiers in Neurology, 2018
Background: Disorders of consciousness are challenging to diagnose, with inconsistent behavioral responses, motor and cognitive disabilities, leading to approximately 40% misdiagnoses.

Assessment and management of pain/nociception in patients with disorders of consciousness or locked-in syndrome: A narrative review

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2023
The assessment and management of pain and nociception is very challenging in patients unable to communicate functionally such as patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC) or in locked-in syndrome (LIS).

Auditory and Somatosensory P3 Are Complementary for the Assessment of Patients with Disorders of Consciousness

Brain Sciences, 2020
The evaluation of the level of consciousness in patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) is primarily based on behavioural assessments. Patients with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS) do not show any sign of awareness of their environment ...

Fantasy Proneness Correlates With the Intensity of Near-Death Experience

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2018
Little is known about the personality characteristics of those who have experienced a “Near-Death Experience” (NDE). One interesting candidate is fantasy proneness.

Incidence of near-death experiences in patients surviving a prolonged critical illness and their long-term impact: a prospective observational study

Critical Care, 2023
Background So far, the few prospective studies on near-death experience (NDE) were carried out only in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with homogeneous aetiologies, such as cardiac arrest or trauma survivors.
