 The authors propose a new name for vegetative state, which they argue has negative connotations and may not accurately reflect the condition. They suggest replacing it with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome EWS, which refers to patients who are awake but unresponsive to commands. This term is neutral and descriptive, indicating that patients show clinical signs of unresponsiveness in the presence of wakefulness. The authors argue that this change would be better for both patients and healthcare providers, as it would help reduce stigma and improve treatment and care.
