How does a person get into a coma?

A COMA is when the body becomes unresponsive to pain, stimulation, communication, and while they may still be alive, they are unable to move or engage in any form of life activities.

Causes of coma include trauma from a head injury, brain swelling, bleeding in the brain, stroke, high blood sugar levels, low blood sugar levels, oxygen deprivation, infection, toxins, and continuous seizures.

People are also sometimes put in what is called a "medical coma", for so many reasons, up to and including burn patients, people in extreme pain, to ease the activity of the heart when it is working in "overtime", where there is an arrhythmia (abnormal heartbeat or rhythm), and sometimes if a person has a lot of tubes and bandages from surgery, and are combative, such as with a head injury.
