Does the medical term unresponsive mean you are in a coma?
No, unresponsive means the the patient/victim does not respond to stimuli such as touching, pinching etc.. Brain dead on the other hand, means that there is no brain activity. Simply put, an unresponsive patient may respond again; a brain dead patient will NEVER respond again (s/he cannot be resuscitated). Wendy Cadogan EMT-P
