A coma is a prolonged state of unconsciousn
Head injuries can cause the brain to swell or bleed and fluid pushes upthe skull. The swelling may eventually cause the brain to push down onbrain stem, which can damage the RAS (Reticular Activating System) --the brain that's responsible for arousal and awareness.
During a coma, a person is unresponsive to his or her environment.
The person is alive and looks like he or she is sleeping.
However, unlike in a deep sleep, the person cannot be awakened by anstimulation, including pain.
