What is Unconsciousness
Unconsciousness is when a person cannot respond to
people and things happening around them.
For example, they will not talk back to you when you tap
them on the shoulder and say their name.
They also do not move as all their muscles are relaxed
(floppy). Their tongue will drop back and block their
airway if they are lying flat on their back.
