This is a question regarding to stroke patience. I had a friend that just got a huge stroke due to high blood pressure. He enters into vegatative state
He is alive but unconscious, sleeping on the bed, cannot move. His mother is heart broken because he is about 43 years old. Now he is just waiting to be declared death…
Anyone has experience of what fields to be used? I try to find a topic about vegatative state but no luck. Thanks
Vegetative state
(Vegetative state - Wikipedia)
Disorder of consciousness caused by severe brain damage
A vegetative state or post-coma unresponsiveness, is a disorder of consciousness in which patients with severe brain damage are in a state of partial arousal rather than true awareness. After four weeks in a vegetative state, the patient is classified as being in a persistent vegetative state. This diagnosis is classified as a permanent vegetative state some months after a non-traumatic brain injury or one year after a traumatic injury. The term unresponsive wakefulness syndrome may be alternatively used, as “vegetative state” has some negative connotations among the public
