I know this is going to sound very naive, but I am naive and ignorant at this stage in my ED volunteering. I am not experienced yet and have A LOT to learn. So, this patient came in (trauma) and had CHF. She looked as if she were asleep. Was she experienceing LOC? In a Coma?
A patient before her had cardiac arrest and the staff members were performing CPR. His eyes were open and looking at the ceiling. Totally unalert. Was he in a coma or something? I do not know yet if he died after I left that day.
I am just trying to put all of the puzzle pieces together.
Thank you.
