Can Coma Cause Death? Let's find out more about commas!

Dear Hermina's friend, Did you know Coma is the highest phase in someone who loses consciousness?  In patients or people who are in a coma they cannot make a movement, respond to stimulation, or open their eyes. Coma will make the sufferer lose consciousness for a long time, unlike collapsed, which makes the sufferer temporarily lose consciousness.

Coma is caused by damage to the part of the brain that performs the function of consciousness. The damage made can last in the short or long term. There are several situations that cause damage to the brain and are the originators of the occurrence of coma, including:

• Severe head injuries, for example, as a result of fights or accidents.
• Stroke.
• High or low blood sugar levels in the body.
• Inadequate oxygen levels in the body.
• Overdose (on drugs or alcohol).

futhermore, the doctor will also ask people around the patient for information about the patient's condition before the coma, such as the patient's condition before the coma, what drugs were taken by the patient, the patient's symptoms before falling into a coma, such as dizziness, headaches, or convulsions, and finally, how the patient loses consciousness, whether suddenly or slowly. The patient's awareness to recover from the coma occurs gradually, some of those who recover can be completely cured, while some of them who experience a decrease in brain function in certain parts of the body.

There are several ways to prevent coma. To prevent coma due to head injuries first, can be careful when driving and working, if doing work or activities that are at risk of head injury, it is recommended to wear personal protective equipment according to occupational safety recommendations.
