A member asked:

My husband was ill and weak before his transplant but now after lungs transplant 1 month passed he is still in coma. can you offer any explanations?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Seek information: You need to seek this information from the transplant team caring for your husband. Ask for as precise an explanation as possible. While not "normal" to be in coma, there may be many, many reversible explanations. The list of possible causes is long.
