why is it said that the method of promoting coma and awakening should vary from person to person?

in the face of long-term coma patients, how to choose the correct coma-induced awakening method needs to be based on the different circumstances of each patient. coma-induced awakening is divided into three stages: acute stage, subacute stage and chronic stage. each stage has different treatment methods for coma-induced awakening.

it should be noted that not every comatose patient requires surgical treatment to induce awakening from coma. in the early stages of craniocerebral trauma, the main treatment is to save the patient's life, stabilize the internal environment of the brain, and ultimately provide the brain with a stable environment so that the patient can regain consciousness independently. many patients have certain self-healing and recovery functions. at this stage, patients are generally only given some very simple rehabilitation methods, such as hyperbaric oxygen, acupuncture, or functional exercises of the limbs. more patients gradually recover with conservative rehabilitation. regain consciousness.

there are still some patients with severe brain injuries who have not regained consciousness even though their vital signs and intracranial structures are stable. at this stage, we need to intervene and evaluate the patient's state of consciousness.

first, we evaluate the patient's state of consciousness. patients in the minimally conscious state are better than those in the vegetative state. young patients are better than old patients. brain trauma factors are better than other factors. then we based on the patient's injured location and neural circuits, a detailed assessment is conducted to determine the correct wake-promoting treatment.
