common clinical diseases of deep coma without spontaneous breathing are mainly severe craniocerebral injury and cerebral hemorrhage, especially deep coma caused by brainstem hemorrhage, large-area cerebral hemorrhage, large-area cerebral infarction or severe ischemic-hypoxic encephalopathy. the absence of spontaneous breathing means that the patient has stopped breathing and heartbeat due to cerebral edema and compression of the respiratory and heartbeat centers. such patients often have a very poor clinical prognosis.

a small number of patients will recover spontaneous breathing after craniotomy decompression surgery and dehydration and antihypertensive treatment, but the prognosis is often very poor. only when spontaneous breathing in deep coma caused by drug poisoning or overdose of anesthetic drugs disappears, and only after the drug is removed, will the patient recover.(warm reminder: medical science sharing. this content does not represent face-to-face consultation. if you feel unwell, please seek medical treatment as soon as possible.)
