AB  - Altered  consciousness  can  be  a  manifestation  of  a  variety  of  disease  processes.  It  is  commonly  indicative  of  life-threatening  illness  that  requires  urgent  stabilization,  diagnosis,  and  institution  of  disease-specific  therapy  to  prevent  ongoing  neurologic  injury  and  long-term  neurodevelopmental  disability.  Although  the  anatomic  structures  related  to  consciousness  have  been  defined,  depressed  consciousness  is  usually  poorly  localized  to  specific  nervous  system  pathways,  and  often  represents  the  consequence  of  a  failed  non-neurologic  organ  system.
