Transcript 急性昏迷
Acute
coma
Definition
Unconsciousness , Disturbance of
consciousness
Degression of level of consciousness
Deep inhibitory state of higher
nervous activity
Mechanism
Consciousness
①
Level of awareness of brain
②
Sensation, Perception
Himself , Enviroment
③
Responsiveness
Inner need, External stimulation
④
Expressed
language, Body movement, Behavior
Composition of consciousness
Cognition
Contents :
Orientation, Perceptivity, Attention,
Remembrance, Affection, Thinking and Behavior
Expressed :
Language,Body movement and behavior
Controlled :
Cerebral cortex
Waking state
Controlled
Ascending reticular activating system in
brainstem ( ARAS )
Function
Special sensory conduction →
Unspecial nerve corpuscle in thalamus →
All cerebral cortex
Etiology and pathology
Disturbance
①
Cerebral cortex
②
Ascending reticular activating
system in brainstem or thalamus
Feature of Ascending
reticular activating system
①
Thin nerve fiber
②
Longer transmiting distance
③
More times for neurone to be exchange
④
Influenced easily by enviroment and drug

Special groups of conscious disturbance
— coma vigil
1)
Open and close eyes
2)
Chew and swallow
3)
Sleep-wake cycles
Decorticate syndrome
1)
Arms flex ,leg straighten
2)
Higher muscular tension
3)
Babinski sign
4)
Cerebral cortex is damaged
Decerebrate syndrom
1)
Four limbs straighten
2)
Higher muscular tension
3)
Babinski sign
4)
All brain is damaged
Akinetic mutism
1)
Muscle relaxation,
2)
No babinski sign
3)
Ascending reticular activating system
in brainstem or thalamus is damaged
Differential diagnosis
Persistent vegetative state
1)
“Unconscious and unaware”
2)
Exhibit sleep-wake cycles
3)
Grinding teeth, swallowing, smiling,
shedding tears, grunting, moaning, or
screaming
4)
Heads and eyes can track moving objects or
turn towards a sound
5)
An impaired connectivity between the
brainstem, thalamus and the cortex
6)
The general brain activity in the cortex is
lower in the PVS state.
Brain death
Complete and irreversible cessation of brain
activity (cerebral, brain stem , cerebellum)
Criteria
1)
Deep coma
2)
No spontaneous respiration
3)
No response to pain, no cranial nerve
reflexes
4)
Spinal reflex may persist
5)
EEG: flat or isoelectric 24h
6)
Exclude for intoxication, hypothermia,
metabolic disturbance or persistent
vegetative state
Hysteria
Syncope
1.
Transient loss of consciousness and posture
2.
A global reduction in blood flow to the brain
Locked-in syndrome
A lesion of the ventral pons.
1)
Alert
2)
Unable to response with speech or facial or
limb movements
3)
Vertical eye movements and blinking
Abulia
A lesion of both lobus frontalis
Serious Apathy
Stuporous state
Stupor syndrom
A rough response ( like screaming ) to a
noxious stimulus
