When a person goes into a coma, he enters an unconscious state, these people are alive but do not respond to their environment and do not wake up, in this situation, environmental stimuli such as pain cannot wake up the patient, coma is caused by brain damage, increased pressure, cerebral hemorrhage, stroke, the presence of poison in the blood, or the lack of oxygen in the patient.. Consciousness or staying for a long time... ### ### 2- What causes a person to go into a coma Most cases of coma are related to trauma or brain injury, when blood supply to the brain is cut off (in the case of an ischemic stroke) or when bleeding in the brain causes a stroke and coma (hemorrhagic stroke). Damage to the brain can cause swelling or bleeding in the brain, or both bleeding and swelling, swelling in the brain along with increased cerebrospinal fluid in the skull may cause damage to the base of the brain (the part of the brain responsible for consciousness and motivation in the brain) leading to coma... #### #### inflation : Swelling and edema may occur suddenly for reasons such as an imbalance of hormones or electrolytes in the brain, which causes swelling that creates an emergency and must be treated quickly, in which the brain does not receive enough blood and oxygen.. #### Brain hemorrhage: Cerebral aneurysms, high blood pressure, and tumors are causes that cause cerebral hemorrhage without trauma or damage to the brain, which causes swelling and lack of oxygen to coma if not treated immediately. #### Ischemic stroke: When part of the brain suffers from a lack of oxygen and blood due to blocked vessels, coma may occur (stroke and coma)... #### Blood sugar: A condition called hyperglycemia occurs in diabetics when the blood sugar level increases sharply, and hypoglycemia, which is a drop in blood sugar, can also cause coma. Infections of the central nervous system, including encephalitis and meningitis, are also causes of coma. #### Poisons: Toxins are substances that normally exist in the body, the inability of the body to dispose of these substances causes their accumulation, including ammonia caused by liver diseases, increased carbon dioxide due to a sudden attack of asthma or urea and kidney failure, drugs and alcohol are also other reasons for the increase in toxins that may cause a person to go into a coma... #### Convulsion : Seizures rarely cause coma, but persistent or epileptic seizures can lead to coma... ### 3- What type of stroke causes coma Which type of stroke causes coma has not been fully investigated, but among them, coma is more common in two stroke patterns, large strokes and ischemic strokes, and these patterns may lead to coma.
