Unconsciousness
-
Not being conscious. When a person becomes or appears to be unconscious, they appear to be in a sleep-like unresponsive state, where all muscles become relaxed and floppy. This creates a danger to [the patients] life, as their tongue (a muscle) rolls to the back of the throat, and blocks the [airway]. Also, as the patient regains consciousness, their stomach wall contracts, causing the contents of their bowels to be forced up the oesophagus where it would enter the mouth to be drained, but because the tongue is blocking its way, a sufficient amount of vomit enters the lungs, and the patient therefore drowns on their own sick.
To prevent this, simply check the patients airway and breathing. If they are breathing, place them into the recovery position. If not, seek help immediately and make sure someome trained in [first aid] is present to perform [CPR] until paramedics arrive.
