COMA

Coma is a deep state of prolonged unconsciousness in which a person is unresponsive to external stimuli and cannot be awakened. It can result from various causes, such as traumatic brain injury, stroke, infections, drug overdose, or metabolic imbalances. During a coma, the brain’s normal functions are significantly impaired, affecting the person’s ability to respond, move, or communicate. The duration and recovery depend on the underlying cause and the extent of brain damage. Treatment typically involves medical interventions to address the cause and support vital functions.
