A member asked:

Has anyone had ards and have come out of a coma?

Dr. Sue Ferranti answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Yes...: It is possible to recover from ards, even with coma. However, the older the patient and the more organ systems involved, the lower the chances are for recovery. Ask your doctor about the details of the patient as every patient is different.
