Introduction[edit | edit source]
Coma reflects brain failure that may occur from a process originating in the central nervous system or may reflect a systemic metabolic process. Causes of coma range from easily correctable metabolic abnormalities to catastrophic life-threatening mass lesions.
- Coma is defined as a state of deep unconsciousness, an eyes-closed unresponsive state.
- Coma is usually a transitory state though it may last for an indefinite or even prolonged period.
- Alerting and arousal functions of the brain are affected as well as awareness and the content of consciousness[1].
