Definition and Examples
- Definition
- Neurological Collapse States refer to conditions characterized by severe impairment of brain function, leading to a significant reduction or absence of conscious awareness and neurological activity. These states can arise from various causes, including trauma, disease, or systemic failure, and are critical in determining legal and medical decisions regarding life support and end-of-life care.
