Why you may need a neurologist to see a comatose patient in the ICU

Author: Eelco F. M. Wijdicks

Abstract

This commentary summarizes the value of a neurologist in the diagnosis and prognostication of coma. Evaluating coma is inherently complex, and neurologic consultation and management can be useful. We often find that management changes after a neurologic consultation.
