A member asked:
How can one take care of a person in a coma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Treatment of coma: Is largely supportive in addition to treating the cause of the coma. The chances for recovery depend on the cause of the coma, whether the problem can be corrected, and the duration of the coma. People in comas likely require an intensive care unit and may often require full life support until their situation improves.
