A member asked:
How does your body react while in diabetic coma respiratory and pulse wise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on patient: In most comatose patients, respiration needs to be supported through artificial means. This could mean using the help of a ventilator to maintain the supply of oxygen to the body tissues. The pulse rate could be normal or high or low depending on the circulatory status and heart function.
