The term 'unconscious' refers to a state in which an individual is not aware of and unable to respond to their environment. This can occur due to various medical conditions, such as severe injury, illness, or a traumatic event, causing a temporary or prolonged loss of consciousness. In this state, the person is not awake and cannot be roused. Unconsciousness can range from a brief episode of fainting to a prolonged coma. Medical attention is often necessary to determine the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment.
