    Triphasic waves and alpha-coma patterns, significant EEG findings in comatose patients, can coexist. Recognizing these patterns is crucial for diagnosis and prognosis, even with intact brainstem function.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurophysiology
    • Critical Care Medicine

    Background:

    • Electroencephalography (EEG) is vital for assessing brain function in comatose patients.
    • Cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) frequently leads to altered neurological states and requires continuous monitoring.
    • Distinguishing between various EEG patterns is essential for accurate diagnosis and prognosis.

    Observation:

    • A rare coexistence of triphasic waves and alpha-coma pattern was observed in a single patient's EEG.
    • The patient was a 67-year-old male who experienced coma after CPA.
    • Crucially, the patient maintained intact brainstem functions despite the observed EEG patterns.

    Findings:

    • The study highlights that triphasic waves and alpha-coma patterns are not mutually exclusive.

  • These specific EEG patterns, though challenging to identify, hold significant diagnostic and prognostic value.
  • The coexistence suggests complex cerebral dysfunction following CPA.

    • Implications:

    • Enhanced recognition of combined EEG patterns can improve patient assessment after CPA.
    • Accurate interpretation of these findings may refine prognostication in comatose individuals.
    • Further research is warranted to understand the underlying mechanisms of this EEG coexistence.
