Temporal dynamics of neural synchrony and complexity of auditory EEG responses in post-hypoxic ischemic coma
Authors' conclusion
Our findings provide novel insights on the optimal temporal window for assessing auditory functions in post-hypoxic ischemic coma.
Study context
- Population
- Unconscious patients in post-hypoxic ischemic coma after cardiac arrest
- Comparison
- Patients who regained consciousness vs those who did not
- Outcome
- Temporal evolution of neural synchrony (phase-locking value, PLV) and neural complexity of auditory-evoked EEG responses
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Phase-locking value (PLV) predictive of chances to regain consciousness within the first 40 h post-cardiac arrest; predictive value diminished thereafter
- PLV trajectories changed over time of coma in non-survivors; survivors had stable PLV
- EEG response complexity not different between patients who regained consciousness and those who did not
- EEG response complexity significantly diminished over time of coma, irrespective of outcome
