A coma is a prolonged state of deep unconsciousness where a person cannot be awakened and does not respond to stimuli like pain, light, or sound, while also losing their normal sleep-wake cycle and ability to take voluntary actions. Coma patients require extensive medical care because their bodies struggle to maintain basic functions like breathing and circulation, which puts them at risk for serious complications.

Il coma (dal greco κῶμα, "sonno") è uno stato di assenza di coscienza conosciuto fin dai tempi più antichi. Con questo termine, Ippocrate indicava "Il cadavere in sonno letargico", riferendosi a quei soggetti in coma, che apparivano in uno stato di sonno profondo dal quale non si poteva risvegliarli. Successivamente, nel 1966, Fred Plum e Jerome Posner, neurologi statunitensi, definiscono così il coma: "Unarousable unresponsiveness in which the subjects lie with eyes closed" (Paziente non risvegliabile, non responsivo, che giace a occhi chiusi).
