Diagnostic tests for Coma:
Various tests are used in the diagnosis of Coma. Some of these are listed below :
- Physical examination
- Perform basic CPR if person is not breathing or has absent pulse
- Determine the level of consciousness using the Glasgow com scale which determines the degree of coma
- Note general skin color - e.g. cyanosis (blueness of tongue and peripheries), bruising, jaundice, rashes, hyperpigmentation of Addison's disease.
- Look for evidence of injury to head
- Examine for neck stiffness which may indicate meningitis or subarachnoid hemorrhage
- Look for injection marks signifying drug addicts or diabetics

Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)
During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Coma.
Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing
your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information
you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis.
Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:
- A history can be obtained from relatives, friends, witnesses and ambulance officers
- When did the comatose state start? - to determine if acute or chronic.
- What was the setting in which the person was found?
- Recent head injury? - e.g. car accident - may suggest subdural or extradural haematoma or intracerebral hemorrhage.
- Past medical history? - e.g. diabetes, hypothyroidism, hepatic failure, renal failure, heart arrhythmias, epilepsy, Addison's disease, high blood pressure, lung disease.
