Decrease Level of Consciousness

Care for the victim with a decreased level of consciousness includes management of the airway and breathing. Generally, the recovery position is the best position for the person as long there is no indication of head, neck or back injury. However, if the victim is in a comfortable position on something like a sofa chair or in any position where there is no risk of them falling, then that would be acceptable.  As long as the victim is breathing they are alive, and CPR must not be performed on someone who is breathing.

Quite often the problem can be related to blood sugar levels, electrolyte imbalance or other type of blood chemistry disorder. It may also be a stroke, medication over dose or serious infection. Sometimes it can be difficult for EMS providers to determine what exactly is wrong, and in many cases the answer may only be proved after extensive hospital assessment. In any case, decreased level of consciousness is a true medical emergency and should prompt bystanders to call 911 or the local emergency number in addition to providing appropriate basic life support care.
