Blink reflexes were studied in 21 patients in coma after severe head injury. Our observations suggest that blink reflexes are a simple, objective, neurophysiological test to evaluate brainstem function. Correlations between these reflexes and the anatomoclinical stanges of coma and the Glasgow coma scale have been established. Presence of the early R1 component shows the integrity of at least a part of the pontine structures. The appearance of the late R2 component is correlated with a better chance of recovery from coma.
对21例重度颅脑损伤昏迷患者进行了瞬目反射研究。我们的观察结果表明,瞬目反射是一种评估脑干功能的简单、客观的神经生理学测试。已经建立了这些反射与昏迷的解剖临床分期和格拉斯哥昏迷量表之间的相关性。早期R1成分的存在表明脑桥结构至少有一部分是完整的。晚期R2成分的出现与昏迷恢复的较好机会相关。
