A member asked:

My mom is in induced coma with ards should she not make it could they pull her out of the coma to say good bye?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Speak with Doctor: Unfortunately giving an answer long-distance is rather difficult in such a case. The best (and in my opinion the only) person who can answer that question is her primary doctor or anesthesiologist. I think it really depends on the severity of her situation as to what the risk of complication might be in bringing her out and then trying to re-induce. All the best to you all in this difficult time.
