Can you baptize an unconscious or confused adult (obviously without their consent) if you know they were unbaptized and are apparently unto death?
No.  Adults must give consent.

This listing neglected the Holy Trinity.  Holy Office ruled that it's necessary to know about the Holy Trinity & Incarnation ... in addition to God, Heaven/Hell.

Thanks.  Am I understanding correctly that, in danger of death, the catechesis can be omitted?

I think I remember reading that one can baptize an unconscious or confused adult if he previously gave consent and/or received instruction.  For example, if someone, whom you know is a catechumen, has a heart attack and can't speak, you would baptize him.  Does anyone know if that is right?

Yes, that is correct.
