The Characteristics of Electroencephalogram Signatures in Minimally Conscious State Patients Induced by General Anesthesia

IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 2023
Objective: General anesthesia (GA) is necessary for surgery, even for patients in a minimally conscious state (MCS). The characteristics of the electroencephalogram (EEG) signatures of the MCS patients under GA are still unclear.

The EEG complexity, information integration and brain network changes in minimally conscious state patients during general anesthesia

Journal of Neural Engineering, 2023
Objective. General anesthesia (GA) can induce reversible loss of consciousness. Nonetheless, the electroencephalography (EEG) characteristics of patients with minimally consciousness state (MCS) during GA are seldom observed. Approach.

The minimally conscious state in children

Seminars in Pediatric Neurology, 2002
The minimally conscious state (MCS) is a condition of severely altered consciousness in which minimal but definite behavioral evidence of self- or environmental awareness is shown. Diagnostic criteria recently have been proposed for entry into and emergence from the MCS.

Consciousness, Conflations, and Disability Rights: Denials of Care for Children in the “Minimally Conscious State”

Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics, 2022
This essay critiques the fiercely utilitarian allocation scheme of Cameron et al. Children have no hope of recovery if their lives are cut short based on administrative protocols that misrepresent the nature of their conditions.

Zolpidem in a minimally conscious state

Brain Injury, 2008
Case reports of the use of zolpidem in Permanent Vegetative States (PVS) have led to interest by the media and court judgements defining treatment with such drugs. It is uncertain whether this paradoxical effect of zolpidem in raising consciousness may be evident in other low awareness states such as Minimally Conscious State (MCS).This study treated a

Persistent Vegetative and Minimally Conscious States

Reviews in the Neurosciences, 2009
The diagnosis and management of patients with persistent vegetative (PVS) and minimally conscious (MCS) states entail powerful medical, ethical and legal debates. The recent description of the MCS highlights the crucial role of unexpected and well-documented recoveries of cognitive functions.
