A systematic approach to the unconscious patient.

Tim Cooksley1, Sarah Rose2, Mark Holland3.   

Abstract

Unconscious patients are commonly seen by physicians. They are challenging to manage and in a time sensitive condition, a systematic, team approach is required. Early physiological stability and diagnosis are necessary to optimise outcome. This article focuses on unconscious patients where the initial cause appears to be non-traumatic and provides a practical guide for their immediate care. © Royal College of Physicians 2018.
