[Neurologic disorders in the late period following terminal states].

The dynamics of the psychoneurological status f 70 patients who had experienced clinical death (17 patients), massive blood loss with prolonged hypotension (30 patients), and terminal eclampsia (23 patients) was studied. In 71% of the patients various late psychoneurological disorders were revealed. Distribution of these disorders according to the WHO classification is presented. It has been found that the psychoneurological disorders of this kind may either: a) gradually disappear, b) stabilize, or c) progress. In 42% of the patients new psychoneurological disorders appeared in the late period: such a deterioration became manifest 3 to 5 months after the terminal state sustained. The discovered incompleteness of the compensation processes points to a necessity of developing a rehabilitation program.
