Coma after brain stem bleeding. age 75. midsize bleeding. how long should we wait until we are sure that there will be no cure?

More info: That question requires more information. An eeg should be a helpful predictor of prognosis. Speak with your neurologist. Many doctors are using medication to try and increase alertness-speak with the treating doctor about a trial of modafanil or amantidine.
