Question

Depth of coma

Answer 1

The depth of coma refers to the level of unconsciousness and lack of response to stimuli experienced by an individual in a comatose state. This can range from a mild coma where the person may still respond to certain stimuli, to a deep coma where there is no response at all. The depth of coma is often assessed using standardized scales such as the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) which measures level of consciousness based on eye opening, verbal response, and motor response.
