How important is knowing personal history of the person before onset of coma or altered consciousness?

0

It is useful to gather as much information as possible concerning the person’s physical, mental, and emotional well being before they entered coma. It is important to know these factors because if the person begins to return to everyday consciousness, they may be confronted with these circumstances once again, and they will need help navigating through their life. Coma Communication: When working with someone in coma or altered consciousness refrain from stressing personal history if you get no positive feedback, because the person may be relating to other things in their altered consciousness state. ~ Sometimes we just do not know the patient’s personal history, so must work only with what is presented in the moment through medical records, sensory grounded signals, and our own intuitive perceptions.
