It means the person has been unconscious from 15 minutes to 24 hours. As a rule, a patient who has Post Tramatic Amensia for less than one hour is diagnosed as having a mild head injury. One to 24 hours translates into moderate head injury. Anything longer than 24 hours is considered severe. In severe head injury, brain damage will be deep and diffuse, and the victim will be poorly responsive for at least one day. He will have physical deficits; he will ahve muscle coordination problems, andmay be paralysed or spastic. Leslie and others these are not my opinions just definitions from a book. I hope it helps.
