Abstract

The article discusses the evidence-based guideline for the management of decreased level of consciousness without a history of trauma among children in Great Britain. It is stated that 40% of mortality are associated with non-traumatic coma in the country. This guideline focuses on possible treatable causes of reduced consciousness. It also includes parent information about the problem, including postmortem investigations.
