Phenomenological Aspects of Consciousness: Coma Scale in Chronic Stage (Chronic Coma Scale Score; CCSs)

Abstract

At the last two congresses of AMN, phenomenological aspects of consciousness disturbance in acute stage were revisited, and proposed a new coma scalehEmergency Coma Scale (ECS), which consisted of the combination of Glasgow Coma Scale and Japan Coma Scale 1. And further, conceptual differences between consciousness and mind were discussed from the viewpoint of the care of demented patients.
