The predictive value of highly malignant EEG patterns after cardiac arrest: evaluation of the ERC-ESICM recommendations

Summary of The Predictive Value of Highly Malignant EEG Patterns After Cardiac Arrest: Evaluation of the ERC-ESICM Recommendations Abstract Highly malignant EEG patterns (HMEP), specifically suppression and burst-suppression, are recommended by the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) for predicting poor neurological outcomes after cardiac arrest. This study, […]

The Pupillary Light-Off Reflex in Acute Disorders of Consciousness

Abstract Background In intensive care patients with disorders of consciousness, the pupillary light reflex is a measure of pupillary parasympathetic function. By contrast, the pupillary light-off reflex leads to pupil dilation in response to an abrupt change from light to darkness (“light-off”) and reflects combined parasympathetic and sympathetic pupillary function. To our knowledge, this reflex
