Abstract

We analysed the prognostic value of somatosensory, brainstem auditory and visual evoked potentials (SSEPs, BAEPs and VEPs, respectively) for outcome prediction in cardiac arrest patients with targeted temperature management (TTM) and assessed whether BAEP and VEP measurements conferred added value to SSEP measurements. Cases with SSEPs and VEPs or BAEPs were reviewed in a TTM registry. We focused on whether the following responses were clearly discernible: N20 for SSEPs, V for BAEPs, and P100 for VEPs. Each type of evoked potential was classified as absent, present or indeterminable. Neurological outcomes after 6 months were dichotomized as good (Cerebral Performance Category [CPC] 1-2) or poor (CPC 3-5). From 185 patients, 185 SSEPs, 172 BAEPs and 178 VEPs were included. None of the patients with a good outcome had absent SSEP, BAEP or VEP responses. Absent SSEP, BAEP and VEP responses yielded sensitivities of 42.3% (95% confidence interval [CI], 33.7-51.3%), 9.4% (95% CI, 4.6-16.7%) and 54.4% (95% CI, 46.0-62.5%) for poor outcomes, respectively. For the overall cohort, the addition of VEP measurements improved the sensitivities of single SSEP measurements (65.8% [95% CI, 57.7-73.3%] versus 36.2% [95% CI, 28.6-44.4%] and multi...Continue Reading

Auditory perception is the ability to receive and interpret information attained by the ears. Here is the latest research on factors and underlying mechanisms that influence auditory perception.

Barrel cortex

Here is the latest research on barrel cortex, a region of somatosensory and motor corticies in the brain, which are used by animals that rely on whiskers for world exploration.
