Lesions Of Different Etiologies Research Articles

Zum Stellenwert früher akustischer und somatosensorisch evozierter Potentiale in der Überwachung und prognostischen Beurteilung des Komas unter Barbiturattherapie - vergleichende Untersuchungen mit Klinik und EEG

25 comatose patients suffering from severe cerebral lesions of different etiology were examined during barbiturat-therapy by Glasgow-Pittsburg-Coma-Scoring-System (GPCS), EEG, somatosensory and brainstem acoustic evoked potentials. The findings were correlated in view of prognostic prediction and importance for monitoring. A modified form of the Glasgow-Outcome-Score (GOS; independent-survival, dependent-survival, dead) was used for evaluating the outcome.
