neurological wake-up test

I think it refers to this: ASSESSING PATIENTS WHILE ON SEDATION IN THE NEUROCRITICAL CARE UNIT
Neurological wake‑up tests (NWTs) are commonly conducted in Neurocritical Care Units.[4] These ‘neuro‑checks’ allows for serial neurological examinations, which serve as our gold standard for neuro‑monitoring – presenting stimulus and assaying response.

Sedado, se realiza ventana neurológica con buena respuesta a órdenes sencillas

Tercer Día: se procede retirar sedación para realizar ventana neurológica a primera hora, sigue sin respuesta a estímulos dolorosos. Se solicita potenciales evocados y electroencefalograma. A última hora del día el paciente presenta apertura ocular espontánea, dirigiendo la mirada y realizando flexión de MMSS, con elevación de los hombros y cabeza. No obedece órdenes.
