I agree with the other redditors who wrote about the difficulties of diagnosis if somebody is asleep, but for the most part if somebody is heavily injured there is a chance of them blacking out which could bring up several problems (mostly related to loss of muscle tension):
* when unconscious the airways might get blocked up by the tounge or vomit (from the outside you don’t nessesarily notice that because they might “not chocke visibly”) thats the reason you should put a unconscious person in the stable lateral position to prevent that
* your body contracts the muscles and bloodvessels around an injury so if blacked out the body can’t keep that up and it’s way more difficult to stop a bleeding
