Relating to a state of deep unconsciousness where a person is unresponsive to external stimuli and unable to awaken.

When someone is comatose, they are in a state of complete unawareness and have no control over their movements or bodily functions. The condition is often the result of severe trauma or injury to the brain, such as from a stroke, severe head injury, or drug overdose. In some cases, comatose states can be medically induced to protect the body during major surgeries or to allow time for the brain to heal after trauma. Comatose patients require close medical supervision to ensure their survival and prevent complications such as infections or bedsores. Depending on the underlying cause of the coma, it may be reversible with treatment, or the patient may remain comatose indefinitely.
