Why do medics try everything to keep injured patients awake and conscious ?
In: Other
Conscience patients are able to relay information, if someone got into something like a car accident, they can point out where pain is, indicating that something wrong about that location
Such as if they’re suffering a brain injury, you can gauge how severe it is by asking questions, if you ask the first set of questions and they can’t answer then that’s not good, but if they can answer the same set of questions a few minutes later that reveals a positive sign, meanwhile if they can answer the first set but not the second then you know their condition is actively worsening
Generally, the more info the patient is able to relay, the better you’re able to provide treatment to them
