Comatose Coma (disorder) Exanimation coma |
|
| definition |
Complete absence of wakefulness and content of conscience, which manifests itself as a lack of response to any kind of external stimuli. Coma refers to a sleep-like state of unarousability in which consciousness is completely absent. Comatose patients keep their eyes closed even after painful stimuli, are not capable of any comprehensible verbal response, do not obey commands, and do not localize painful stimuli, although they may make posturing and reflexive responses. The percentage of patients in coma ranges from 5–18% in ischemic stroke to 31–55% in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). |
