Unconscious means that one is not responding to any normal brain activity. The unresponsive or unconsious state usually comes first in the case of an accident. After a certain amount of time without oxygen flowing to the brain, then one may slip into a coma. This means that there is a heart beat but one appears to be in a deep sleep with little or no brain activity.
