  • Title: Diffuse theta activity and spindle-like bursts during coma after cardiac arrest.
    Author: Ganji SS, Henry R, Furlow J.
    Journal: Clin Electroencephalogr; 1996 Apr; 27(2):89-94. PubMed ID: 8681468.
    Abstract:
    An usual combination of diffuse theta activity with intermittent bursts of spindle-like activity, followed by 2-3 Hz rhythmic discharges and lasting about 7 seconds, was noted in a coma patient after cardiac arrest. We speculate that the theta pattern coma and spindle-like bursts originated in the pontine region, and that those bursts in turn triggered or recruited rhythmic slow-wave complexes similar to absence discharges.
