Relationship between outcome, neurohysiological, fMRI, and vegetative reactivity during painful electrical stimulation at one month after cardiac arrest

Patient Outcome fMRI MLCEP N20/P25 Reactivity BP Reactivity
1 Good Cortical yes yes yes

2 MCS SI no yes yes

3 VS Sub-cortical no no yes

MLCEP: middle latency cortical evoked potential

BP: blood pressure

MCS: minimally conscious state

VS: vegetative state

SI: primary somatosensory cortex
