Fig. 1From: Pain-related Somato Sensory Evoked Potentials: a potential new tool to improve the prognostic prediction of coma after cardiac arrestDistribution of patients on the outcome levels (survival, recovery of consciousness (CR) and cerebral performance category (CPC)) based on blood pressure reactivity (BP-R), short-latency somatosensory evoked potentials SL-SSEP and middle-latency SSEP (ML-SSEP). Of the patients, 6 with SL-SSEP and without 50 mA ML-SSEP died because of heart failure (n = 2), sepsis (n = 2) or bronchopneumonia (n = 2); 6 patients with SL-SSEP and 50 mA ML-SSEP died because of cardiogenic shock (n = 3), septic shock (n = 1), pulmonary hemorrhage (n = 1) or multiple organ failure (n = 1)Back to article page
