In movies people in critical condition are often told to 'stay awake!' or 'stay with me!', implying they would die when losing consciousness. Do people actually have a higher likelihood of survival when staying conscious, assuming the type/timing of help afterwards is the same?

QFT describes particles such as an electron as excitations of a field. How is such an excitation quantified? Do particles correspond to some minimally necessary excitation and if so, what if possible do smaller excitations correspond to?
