comatose state

A comatose state is a deep, sustained level of unconsciousness where a person cannot wake up, respond to sounds or touch, or show purposeful movements. It results from brain activity being significantly impaired, often due to injury, illness, or other medical conditions affecting the brain’s functioning. While in a coma, the person is alive but unresponsive, and their condition can vary from temporary to prolonged, depending on the cause and severity. Medical care aims to identify and treat underlying issues, with the goal of supporting recovery or determining prognosis.
