Q: a Question On Comas And Resulting Effects
asked by: zaratan on November 16th, 2005

I apologize if this is not the proper place to ask this.



I am a writer, and I am currently writing a story for which I have a couple of medical questions.



The character in my story was put into a coma as a result of severe cranial injury, and has been in a coma for 6 months when she wakes up. She has had no problems breathing on her own, but what would she be hooked up to in a case this long? As well, what symptoms would/could she be suffering from after this amount of time, both mentally and physically?



I'd like to thank you in adavnce for any information anyone can provide.

Hello! I am not a professional, but from movies i've seen and articles i've read, the patient is hooked up to and intravenous for food. I also know that they must have sustained some sort of brain trauma (what kind, I don't know for sure but maybe hit by a car or something?). As well, I think that they have stats being read to make sure they are breathing and they're heart rate is normal. Let me know what happens, okay?

Good luck!
Kathryn
