Purpose: Disorders of consciousness, such as coma, vegetative state, and minimally conscious state present a unique challenge for the palliative care team, given the often sudden and unexpected onset, the uncertainties of prognosis, and the profound barriers to patient communication.

Objectives:  

  1. Differentiate between coma, vegetative state, and minimally conscious state
  2. Review prognostic indicators for patients in coma and other disorders of consciousness
  3. Identify strategies to address common family and caregiver questions and concerns, including communication and pain management
