can severely comatose patients wake up? how long does it take to wake up?

can severely comatose patients be revived? how long does it take to wake up? this is what many friends are eager to know. let me tell you briefly today.

the time for a severely comatose patient to wake up requires a detailed analysis of the specific situation. it depends on the cause of the patient's severe coma, the duration of the severe coma to the present, the patient's age, basic condition, and general brain trauma and other conditions. patients may be awake and have a number of other conditions, as follows:

1. traumatic brain injury: for patients with traumatic brain injury and severe coma caused by brain trauma, many patients can wake up after 1-3 months of rehabilitation treatment.

2. cerebral hemorrhage: the length of time a patient is comatose after cerebral hemorrhage depends on the actual condition, the location of the bleeding, the amount of bleeding, and whether there are serious complications, such as hydrocephalus, increased intracranial pressure, pneumonia, and pulmonary embolism. etc., and is also closely related to the degree of coma. therefore, the duration of coma and whether one can be revived depend on the actual severity of the condition. if the patient cannot be revived within a year, he may remain in a coma for a long time and the chance of recovery is relatively small.

3. others: if it is severe coma caused by cardiac arrest, defective encephalopathy, etc., if you do not wake up after more than one month, the possibility of waking up again will be relatively small. if you do not wake up after more than three months, the possibility of waking up is very slim. at this time, you are called a vegetative state.

comprehensive treatment is adopted for patients with severe coma. first, the primary disease must be actively treated, the patient must be well cared for, and awakening-promoting methods must be used for treatment.
