comatose
Anyone who is in a deep or prolonged state of unconsciousness, usually due to an illness or injury, is considered to be comatose.
The comatose patient would regain consciousness after naloxone administration if the patient was comatose in the first place due to an opiate overdose. Naloxone is a competitive antagonist of opioids used to reverse their effect, which includes most notably respiratory depression.
To keep a comatose patient from getting pressure ulcers they should be kept on a turning schedule. It would also benefit them to have an air mattress on their bed.
To prevent bed sores.
Taking the temperature of a comatose patient can be done orally, rectally, with a tympanic (ear) thermometer, or through a temporal artery thermometer. However, the method used should be based on the patient's condition and the healthcare provider's instructions. It's important to follow proper hygiene practices and safety measures to prevent infection.
Surgeons are "doctors" so... yes. (Assuming the comatose patient is actually on a said machine constantly operated solely for the purpose of maintaining life) <--Which is rare
