What would שקוע be in this context?

patient in a stupor
Explanation:
אדם אשר שקוע במצב ההכרה אך מתעורר בתגובה לגירוי חיצוני ולאחר מכן שוקע שוב בהכרתו. In other words, he's not unconscious, he responds to external stimulation, but then fades out again. A non medical description might be "extremely out of it"...
