I got your idea thanks:yeah:. Any paitent with decreased level of consciouness (which can be assessed by alert/ respond to voice/ respond to painful stimulus or unresponsive) has compromised airway. So it is necassary to check the Airway path ,breathing pattern or its rythm. Decreased level of consciouness is also caused by hypoglycaemia/ stroke/ and altered metabolic states (hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia). So it is advisable to check the Blood sugar level and intervene appropriately.
