Abstract

This is an experimental research with quantitative and qualitative approach in order to identify the signifiers of body language in a coma and signs that express the machine connected to it resulting from nursing care. The procedures chosen were the technique of in-bed bath, oral hygiene and intimate hygiene. The study population consisted of 30 subjects. The main significant findings were wrinkles on forehead, close eyes tightly, crying, smiling, tongue protrusion, facial flushing, look toward the person, sweat on forehead. The main signs were shortness of breath and increased heart rate. All variables related to signals presented by the machinery connected to the patient’s body in a coma, respiratory rate, heart rate and diastolic and systolic blood pressure showed significant statistical difference (p<0.0001) between before and after nursing care.

Conclusion: We conclude that the answer to question this study is given when we say that the person in coma is expressed through significant understood as expressions of the body and, through such signs as the records show that the physiology through the machine.
