Distribution 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)
