Prognosis in Disorders of Consciousness

2017
In patients with prolonged disorders of consciousness (DOC), clinical evolution is determined by several factors closely interacting with each other: etiology, patient’s age (likely influencing the physiological process of recovery, e.g., brain plasticity), the duration of DOC (likely related to the severity of brain damage), the structural and ...

Electrophysiology in disorders of consciousness

Electroencephalography (EEG) has emerged as a powerful tool in the diagnosis, characterization, and prognostication of patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC). EEG is a well-established monitoring tool for the treatment of specific patient populations with impaired consciousness, such as those with status epilepticus and cardiac arrest.

Chronic disorders of consciousness

The Lancet, 2006
The vegetative state and the minimally conscious state are disorders of consciousness that can be acute and reversible or chronic and irreversible. Diffuse lesions of the thalami, cortical neurons, or the white-matter tracts that connect them cause the vegetative state, which is wakefulness without awareness.

Assessing consciousness and cognition in disorders of consciousness

NeuroRehabilitation
Detecting willful cognition in these patients is known to be challenging due to the patients’ motor disabilities and high vigilance fluctuations but also due to the lack of expertise and use of adequate tools to assess these patients in specific settings.

Chronic Consciousness Disorders

Annual Review of Medicine, 2009
Although philosophers and cognitive neuroscientists have struggled to define human consciousness, physicians can identify and assess its two clinical dimensions: wakefulness and awareness. A comatose patient has neither wakefulness nor awareness; a patient in a vegetative state has wakefulness without awareness; and a minimally conscious patient has ...

Disorders of Consciousness

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2008
The vegetative state and other so‐called disorders of consciousness present some of the most significant practical and ethical challenges in modern medicine. It is extremely difficult to assess residual cognitive function in these patients because their movements may be minimal or inconsistent, or because no cognitive output may be possible.

[Neurology of consciousness and of consciousness disorders].

Schweizerische Rundschau fur Medizin Praxis = Revue suisse de medecine Praxis, 1994
The two physiologic components of conscious behaviour, namely arousal (vigilance) and content of consciousness (presence of mind), may be affected differently, depending on the type and distribution of the underlying brain disease. Disturbance of arousal primarily affects wakefulness and awareness and leads to obtundation, stupor and coma.
