Coma, commonly known as "being unconscious" or "out cold," is a state of consciousness characterized by a total inability to perceive incoming stimuli. A retrospective phenomenologic study found that 10 of 36 control, 19 of 36 precare, and 20 of 36 aftercare subjects (49 of 108, or 45.4 percent) had experienced coma at least once during their lives. The implications of these findings are discussed.
昏迷,通常被称为“失去意识”或“不省人事”,是一种意识状态,其特征是完全无法感知传入的刺激。一项回顾性现象学研究发现,36名对照组受试者中有10名、36名护理前受试者中有19名、36名护理后受试者中有20名(108名中的49名,即45.4%)在其一生中至少经历过一次昏迷。本文讨论了这些发现的意义。
