Coma Patients

When a coma patient is no longer in immediate danger, the next step is monitoring the patient to ensure a healthy physical state. Often, the focus is on maintaining a healthy level of nutrition, as well as avoiding possible problems such as pneumonia and bedsores, which are commonly seen in coma patients.

Additionally, patients may receive physical therapy for preventative measures, to ease the recovery process after emergence from the coma. After remaining in a comatose state for a while, patients sometimes encounter difficulty with permanent muscular contractions, and deformities of the bones, joints and muscles.
