Determining level of consciousness
This is pretty much RT 101 stuff, but the following are the various levels of consciousness one might observe of others. A wise RT will be familiar with these terms and use them accordingly.
Lethargic
: somnolence: sleepy
Stuporious
: confused: responds inappropriately, OD, intoxication
Semi-comatose
: responds only to painful stimuli
Comatose
: does not respond to painful stimuli
Obtunded
: drowsy, maybe decreased cough/gag reflex
