Right now It is impossible to predict When a commatose patient can be re-conscious. Some patients wake up in a few minutes after brain injury or after a rare Restore partial consciousness after ten years. Others remain unconscious for the rest of their lives. New research shows that sleep regimes in patients in the comatose can help predict the chances of waking up.
Researchers found a link to cross-reference samples and a promising link in the University of Columbia and New York-Presbyterian Hospital, recovery rates. As a learn This approach, which is broadcast in the Nature Medical Magazine Monday on Monday, has the potential to change the care of unanswered brain injury patients and make an accurate forecast for concerns.
“The families of my patients always ask, Will my mother be awakening? statement.
One learn The Keysen and his colleagues show that a quarter of the commatress patients with brain injuries last year can have a conscious conscious known as the cognitive motor dissociation. Claassen has revealed a technique to reveal a hidden consciousness when a commatose patient hears when a commatose patient has heard and make a commandment, but determined by defining a hidden consciousness.
“We are in an interesting way of neutle, we know that many patients are unconscious, but we are in a neutritous care we know without knowledge. He is also a critical care center at the University of Newyork-Presbyterian / Columbia Medical Center and the hospital is neurology.
In the recent study, Klayassen was directed to sleep, for the brain process behind it is the key to consciousness. To discover his colleagues and his colleagues secret awareness, 226 Comboatose patients who had previously received the technique of Claassen analyzed the electricity brain activity. Let’s call this “ink method” for simplicity.
“During sleep, electric activity seems relatively chaotic, then sometimes some patients are very organized, fast frequencies,” he said. These rapid frequencies known as a sleeping shaft, often occurred before discovering the secret consciousness of the complex method and before the patients were recovered before or before.
“During sleep, it occurs normally and shows a bit of an organization level in the brain, offering schemes needed for consciousness between Talamus and the cortex,” he said.
In general, both asleep and hidden conscious patients are more likely to wake up from the coma and make a reasonable restoration. In particular, 76% of these patients demonstrated their consciousness when they left the hospital, and 41% restored a sufficient neurological function to be independent during the day. On the other hand, 29% of patients with both deposits and cognitive motorized patients showed the signs of consciousness when they left the hospital, and a year later a year later resumed the neurological function.
The researchers stressed that this is the correlation information, and they have taken into account that it does not build this sleeping shaft. For example, 139 patients still restored the consciousness without a 19-person sleep or hidden consciousness. In addition, research is considering the comatosis states only from recent injuries. However, their research shows that it shows a better sleep with the sleeping shaft – a patient can improve the chances of recovery.
“If you think about the ICU environment, there is a good night’s sleep. There are noises, the alarms turn off, 24/7. All it is because of a good reason,” said Claassen.
Their approach “is not ready for use in clinical practice,” the path to a future that doctors can provide more accurate predictions of a more accurate cotton patient’s chances of restoring family members.
