What is comatose meaning?

Comatose refers to a state of unconsciousness in which a person is unresponsive and cannot be awakened. It is a medical condition in which the brain activity slows down significantly, leading to a lack of responsiveness to external stimuli. Comatose patients may have a decreased heart rate, low blood pressure, and irregular breathing. The condition can be caused by a variety of factors such as traumatic injury to the brain, lack of oxygen to the brain, drug overdose, and infection. The prognosis for comatose patients varies depending on the underlying cause and extent of brain damage. Some patients may recover, while others may remain in a persistent vegetative state or enter into a state of brain death.
