what are the nursing measures for comatose patients?

nursing measures for comatose patients include the following:
first, to keep the respiratory tract open, the comatose patient's head should be tilted to one side to facilitate the flow of oral secretions and vomitus, and to prevent the base of the tongue from falling back and blocking the respiratory tract. suction out oral secretions and vomitus at any time, if necessary. a tracheotomy is performed.
second, oxygen inhalation. for comatose patients, such as patients with decreased blood oxygen saturation or hypoxia, oxygen inhalation should be given.
third, nasogastric feeding. for comatose patients, if they cannot resume eating independently in a short period of time, they need to eat through a nasogastric tube.
fourth, symptomatic treatment, such as giving laxatives and other treatments.

fifth, prevent infection, strengthen oral care, expel sputum in time, keep the respiratory tract open, and do bladder irrigation when indwelling urinary catheterization.
