The Vegetative and Minimally Conscious States
2008Publisher Summary Persistent vegetative state (PVS) describes the patients who recovered from coma with periods of wakefulness but without any sign of self or environmental awareness. This emphasizes the dissociation between the still-viable vegetative functions (e.g., respiration, heart rate, blood pressure) and the complete loss of cognition.

Cerebral processing in the minimally conscious state
Neurology, 2004We studied a patient in a minimally conscious state using PET and cognitive evoked potentials. Cerebral metabolism was below half of normal values. Auditory stimuli with emotional valence (infant cries and the patient's own name) induced a much more widespread activation than did meaningless noise; the activation pattern was comparable with that ...

Ethical Aspects of Vegetative and Minimally Conscious States
Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2013The growing diffusion of life support procedures, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and advanced cardiac life support (ACLS), allows physicians to keep a person alive almost indefinitely when the person's heart has stopped beating autonomously or spontaneous breathing is precluded.

NEUROSTIMULATION AND THE MINIMALLY CONSCIOUS STATE
Bioethics, 2008ABSTRACTNeurostimulation to restore cognitive and physical functions is an innovative and promising technique for treating patients with severe brain injury that has resulted in a minimally conscious state (MCS). The technique may involve electrical stimulation of the central thalamus, which has extensive projections to the cerebral cortex.

Clinical management of the minimally conscious state
2015The minimally conscious state (MCS) was defined as a disorder of consciousness (DoC) distinct from the vegetative state more than a decade ago. While this condition has become widely recognized, there are still no guidelines to steer the approach to assessment and treatment.

Recovery From Vegetative State to Minimally Conscious State
American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, 2016In this study, we attempted to demonstrate the change of the ascending reticular activating system (ARAS) concurrent with the recovery from a vegetative state (VS) to a minimally conscious state (MCS) in a patient with brain injury. A 54-year-old male patient had suffered from head trauma and underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation immediately after ...

Minimally Conscious and Vegetative State
2020A small number of patients develop a disorder of consciousness (DOC) after surviving severe traumatic brain injury (STBI), meaning that after cessation of sedation they show no (vegetative state (VS)) or limited and fluctuating (minimally conscious state (MCS)) behavioural signs of consciousness.
