Detecting Awareness in Vegetative Patients – November 9, 2011
What if there was an easy, bedside method to diagnose awareness in patients who appeared to be in a vegetative state? And what if new innovations could help those “locked in” patients communicate?
On November 9, 2011 the SMCC teamed up with MaRS Discovery District to launch a new paper in the Lancet by Canada Excellence Research Chair Dr. Adrian Owen and his colleague Dr. Damian Cruse. The paper showed that awareness (or ‘locked-in syndrome’) could be detected in patients using a bedside EEG.
