United States Naval Flight Surgeon's Manual: Third Edition 1991: Chapter 7: Neurology Management of Coma and Unresponsiveness Naval Aerospace Medical Institute Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed The degree of drowsiness is often misrepresented on the patient'srecord. The terms obtundation, stupor, and coma are often used interchangeably. It is best to note the response the patient makes to his environment (i.e. responds to soft verbal stimuli, loud verbal stimuli,physical stimuli such as shaking, or deep painful stimuli to theextremities). Coma or absence of arousal to any external stimuli is mimicked by several other clinical conditions which should not be diagnosed as coma. These conditions include: (1) locked in syndrome, (2) psychogenic coma, (3) persistent vegetative state, (4) akinetic mutism,(5) hypersomnolence (exaggerated sleep response), and (6) brain death. All of these conditionswill look like coma and should be considered in the differential diagnosis. Locked-in syndrome is seen in brain stem infarction or metabolic conditions which cause paralysis of all four extremities without loss ofconsciousness. Generally there is preservation of eye movements and the blink reflex, and communication may be established in this manner. This may alsooccur in acute motor paralysis due to peripheral nerve or neuromuscularjunction blockade. Psychogenic coma should be considered if the patient has intact brainstem reflexes including calorics, pupillary reactions, and optokinetic nystagmus. In psychogenic coma there is an active resistance to eyelidopening and the eyes will tend to avoid looking at the examiner.

PROBLEMS WITH THE WORD CONSCIOUSNESS Rodrigo Becerra (1)A good review is provided by Kirsner et al (Eds., 1998) in their "Implicit and Explicit Mental Processes". Another interesting recent review is "Out of mind. Varieties of unconscious processes" (Gelder, De Haan and Heywood, 2001). (2) (MacLeod, 1992; MacLeod, Mathews and Tata, 1986; MacLeod and Rutherford, 1992, MacLeod and Hagan, 1992, MacLeod and Mathews 1991; MacLeod and McLaughlin, 1994; MacLeod and Lawrence Cohen, 1993 and MacLeod, Rutherford, Campbell, Ebsworthy and Holker, 2002) "At its least, normal human consciousness consists of a serially time-ordered, organized, restricted and reflective awareness of self and the environment. Moreover, it is an experience of graded complexity and quantity" (p.1) The detailed neurological account offered by the authors is beyond the scope of this essay. Of considerable however interest is their understanding of consciousness. What follows is a brief description of the first part of their essay, which is of more interest to this paper in that it specifies the "type" of consciousness to which they refer. The taxonomy favoured by the authors involves a classification of global disorders of consciousness that include: stupor and coma, the vegetative state, akinetic mutism, absence and partial complex seizures, delirium, dementia and hyperkinetic mutism.

REVIEW OF: Antonio Damasio (1999). The Feeling of What Happens: Body and Emotion in the Making of Consciousness. New York: Harcourt Brace. 386pp. ISBN: 0156010755. US$15 pbk Abstract. Here I present a sympathetic but critical analysis of Damasio's latest book. I begin with a brief exposition of his neurobiological theory of emotion and then take issue with him on the cognitive and representational nature of emotional states. I discuss his view of consciousness as a second-order set of neural activations, which are allegedly intimately related to, and even necessary for, elementary emotional and homeodynamic processes. I find Damasio's account wanting in at least two respects. First, the relationship between emotional states and the consciousness thereof is left ambiguous. Second, Damasio lacks a clear psychological hypothesis about the hierarchy of first-, second-, and possibly third-order mental/neural states. The result is that a wealth of neurobiological information fails to be organized in a coherent conceptual scheme, and the whole account is ultimately unsatisfactory.
