Abstract
The nature of consciousness itself belongs within a group of ‘underdetermined questions’ to which we might not be able to find an answer. Similarly, we have a limited understanding of disorders of consciousness. In this brief article, we discuss a practical approach to the comatose patient and the importance of promptly identifying the cause to prevent permanent neurologic damage.
