The main symptom of a coma is the inability to be aroused to consciousness. Other symptoms are:
Lack of self-awareness,
Lack of a sleep-wake cycle,
Lack of purposeful movements,
Lack of suffering and Impaired breathing.
There are different stages of a coma. Most people believe that a person in a coma is in a deep sleep.
This is not entirely true.
Some stages of coma resemble a deep sleep but not all. The progress of coma is measured by the patient's increasing awareness of external stimuli. There are many levels of coma which the patient will pass through as functionality increases. Depending on the stage, a person in a coma may make movements, sounds and experience agitation. Coma patients may also have reflex activities that mimic conscious activities. Sometimes, coma patients must be restrained to prohibit them from removing tubes and IVs.Emerging from a Coma?
When a person begins to emerge froma coma, they begin to react to certain stimuli. However, to regain consciousness, both reactivity and perceptivity must be present. Reactivity and perceptivity are necessary for a state of awareness. It is often the case that some parts of perceptivity such as speech and self care must be relearned.
i am practicing as a licenced practical nurse,
i know that the last thing to go even in death is the hearing,
they can hear what you say
In a coma is like when you are asleep but I am not entirely sure as I have never experienced it first hand.
When you die and get revived, thats a near death experience and people have said that they have seen what appears to be a white light or maybe heaven.
when i was in a coma it was exactly like how you are when your sleeping and dreaming. You have a long long continuous dream and you dont know your dreaming eaither.
Some people say they see god or whatever but they are just dreaming.
I was in a coma for a week. I didn't see or hear anything. Everything was just blank. My heart stopped beating 3 times before I slipped into the coma and I don't remember seeing or hearing anything then either.
It varies from person to person. I read a story where the doctors were trying to convince some parents to turn off life support on their comatose son with no brain activity. He moved his hand and foot while the family was saying their last goodbye. When he recovered he said he heard everything they said and he was trying to stop them and that caused him to move. This was on the news a couple of weeks ago.
I have heard some people say they heard and saw everything like they were looking down on the room and others say they remember nothing.
NOTHING! You are more unconscious than in sleep. Do you feel, hear or see anything while asleep?
