What is the best treatment for pt who had cardiac arrest due to hypoxia and now is unconscious at the hospital? The pt does not respond to touch, eyes are glassy. He just moves his toes.
I may be wrong but I think this is a conscious person (hence the amazing demonstration of the various reflexive responses). My reasoning is her eyes don't lag in the doll's eye test, and she isn't incubated (so her brain stem seems functional). Also not sure how many coma patients have shaved legs (it's possible but a little unexpected... prior laser hair removal is possible too)
+Sharon Mitchell Duh...everybody watching this knows that the woman is clearly a nurse helping the doctor with the recording. She even follow every doctor's 'instructions to demonstrate each type of reflex responses. The real question is: Were you conscious when watching this?
it's helpful for diagnosis : Coma is a symptom.. a cause must be found.. Without knowing the cause, we cannot treat. Little details orientate doctors.. example.. calm comas orientates toward a drug induced coma .. agitated comas orientate towards a hypoglycemic or a CO intoxication.. If there are asymetries in the motor response we can expect something organic (and not metabolic).. Example, Intra cerabral hematoma, or a tumor.. IT's also helpful for prognosis..
Why should he have been wearing gloves? This is only indicated if contact with blood/bodily fluids is anticipated. Otherwise, simple hand hygiene will suffice.
I would be happy if someone explains me the difference between nystagmus and bobbing, because I know that vertical nystagmus exist or is it that vertical nystagmus and bobbing are the same thing?
My nephew nearly drowned in a pool last weekend he was submerged in water for 4 mins and was resuscitate by paramedics. Now he remains in a coma state but he eyes remain open eyes rolled upwards in a fixed state. He is responsive if u tell him to lift his arms. Doctors rated him 7-8 Glasgow coma scale. Will he be able to recover?
my gf is in coma since last 12 days (CO poisoning) and during this times she moves her fingers and open her eyes for some time and than she closes it back.. doc said we cant say anything for now but those are good signs.. please console me on this and give me some information are these good signs and whats gonna happen next? if any one had any idea share it with me or any experience!!! im waiting replies
I'm sorry but this title of the video threw me off. Had no idea it was possible to perform neuro exam while pt is in a coma which pretty much answers that question and not sure what the point of progressing the exam is and unsure how thats going to help or prove useful at some point...
As a new provider in neurocritical care I am so greatful for this video!!
Amazing video! Very methodical and easy to understand, very informative.
Very nice, thank you for the refresher. It's nice to have some confirmation that I actually am being pretty thorough with my coma assessments.
This was everything I needed 😭😭😭💯💯…..thank you. Video was very informative sir.
This is excellent, thank you. I had some trouble with the volume being low. This could be adjusted.
Me too; I can't hear it at all. Volume is on in each place. Hmmm.
Thank you very much. This is a really great video.
great video. very great in summarizing a neuro exam. exceptionally helpful.
Injecting Saline in the tube? Wouldn''t that risk an aspiration pneumonia? Thank you for the wonderful information
When the doctor/nurse opens your eyes to check and stuff can you see?
Actually, a corneal reflex is elicited by touching the cornea, not conjunctiva. The cornea overlies the iris.
This is a great video, thank you.
He's right you can do a exam when you have a unconscious patient....how ever waking up to fined Frank Zappa is your doctor is enough to do it anyway.
Thank you very much ,Dr.Peter.
GREAT Video!!
Thank your for this great video 👍👍

respect the nurse for being able to mimic the babinski reflex. that must be pretty challeging :)
Well with the assistant being a nurse she more than likely has encouraged that breathing pattern many times.
Excellent explanation, thank you
Very educational. The video's sound was only audible on the left. Also, they physician should have been wearing gloves!
Why?
Why should he have been wearing gloves? This is only indicated if contact with blood/bodily fluids is anticipated. Otherwise, simple hand hygiene will suffice.
+ThatGunnerGuy MD
I stand corrected. :)
Thyroid Storm jeez dude. All he said was he should be wearing gloves. Even I thought he should have been wearing gloves. Just seemed like he should.
this guy is a gun at reflexes!

Thank you Dr Skaff :)
Great teaching points!!!
Very helpful, thank you
