The famous scientist Bogolepov gave the most accurate description of the medical concept of the diagnosis of patients, in which there is no active state of human functions. It is determined by pronounced inhibition of the nervous system, a state of deep loss of feelings and consciousness with the absence of not only motor, skin analyzers, but also visual, olfactory and auditory reflexes. This is a coma or coma of the patient.
The very concept of a coma is different from the definitions inherent in a state of deep sleep, which, if necessary, can be interrupted by external stimuli. The patient, who is in a coma, does not show signs of a reaction to external and internal irritations, they are not able to restore consciousness to the patient.
What is it all - signs of a coma and what is a coma? They should not be taken as a state of stupor - insensibility and stillness. Because in a state of stupor, a person is in a state of numbness, not having a body reaction to external stimuli, but retaining signs of consciousness.
Various signs of symptoms are known to medicine to determine a coma. First of all, the coma is due to the presence of disorders in the cerebral circulation, which manifest themselves in the form of hemorrhages. Their development occurs suddenly, takes the form of a stroke with an apoplexy of a coma.
Symptoms of a coma
The presence of hemiplegia is a paralytic syndrome, at the very beginning of the development of coma may indicate the occurrence of foci that affect the activity of the brain.
In some cases, a coma is manifested by pronounced phenomena of initial contracture, periodic, tonic spasms in the limbs that occur during compression of the brain substances that occur during hemorrhage.
One of the main symptoms that characterize a coma is loss or loss of consciousness, can be combined with seizures resembling seizures of epilepsy, which largely outline the picture of the cause of coma.
In the presence of chronic diseases that lead to damage to the functions of the activity of internal organs and coma, a condition may develop that is usually defined as a precomatose state of the body.
It should be added that there is a need to focus on the development of a sequence of symptoms that accompanies a coma. In this situation, when signs of psychomotor agitation and epileptic seizures may indicate the development of paralysis with the presence of cerebral hemorrhage.
One of the most severe forms that cause complications in children forced to suffer from diabetes is a ketoacidotic coma, the manifestation of which requires an immediate reaction from others, an emergency, emergency, and most importantly, qualified and professional medical care. Children who have been diagnosed with diabetes for a long time may become comatose due to interruptions in treatment with insulin preparations or because of a reduced dose.
A sharp reaction of the body can be caused by gross violations of the rules of eating, deviations from the diet, abuse of foods that contain a lot of carbohydrates and fats. The same reaction of the child's body can be observed with injuries, emotional overstrain, and the incorrect and inadequate method of treating patients. Only daily monitoring of the condition of a sick child can protect the child's body from the severe consequences of coma.
