Fig. 4From: Pain-related Somato Sensory Evoked Potentials: a potential new tool to improve the prognostic prediction of coma after cardiac arrestFunctional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) (21Â days after cardiac arrest (CA)) of patient 12 of our series who had a good outcome, showing the brain activation of the somatosensory, motor, premotor, left insula and cerebellum areas. Some artifacts are also visible. The neurophysiological recording performed at 24Â h after CA showed pain-related somatosensory evoked potentials (ML-SSEP) and a diffuse, slowing, nonreactive electroencephalogram (EEG). The subsequent EEG patterns were characterized by epilectiform activity. This patient regained consciousness at 33Â days after CABack to article page
