What usually happens if you slip into a coma after a brain aneurysm?

---

My mom had a brain aneurysm Monday night, they clipped it, then she slipped into a coma on Wednesday. The coma wasn't induced either. No body will really tell me anything that's happening. How bad is it?

I asked this earlier and got almost no answers.
I really wish i could help...
My sister is a nurse...if only she had an account.
I would call her and ask her, but its one in the morning.

Im really sorry about your mom Ella.  (+ info)

What is the difference between coma and unresponsive?

---

What is the difference between being unresponsive and being in a coma? My mom is currently in the hospital and the doctors say she is unresponsive. They now believe she had a severe seizure (she is epileptic) and somehow she lost oxygen to the brain. Unfortunately they we do not know for how long. After a second cat scan, they found tiny damage all over on both sides of her brain. She is on a respirator. They can not explain why she is not responding. Doctors say there is a chance she may respond and a chance she may stay as she is. Is there any hope?
A coma is pretty much your body going to sleep and healing itself. The brain is still very responsive and responds to things like voices and touch, but the person is essentially asleep and can't be woken up.

Being unresponsive is like being brain dead, only there is hope. There may be brain receptors that are still firing so she may not be completely brain dead. Thus, unresponsive.

That's as much as I know. But I hope I helped a little?

-hugs- I'm sorry your put into this kind of situation.  (+ info)

How do opioid analgesics cause coma to patients with liver disease?

---

I know opioid analgesics are metabolized by the liver therefore they wouldn't be metabolized properly in people with liver disease. But how does this lead to coma? HELP!
maybe you should ask your doctor that question  (+ info)

Can a person in a coma with pneumonia become any worse if they are exposed to someone who is ill?

---

I have a friend who is currently in a coma. Another friend of mine and myself are planning on visiting tomorrow, but my one friend has a pretty bad cold. What we were wondering is that if it would make our friend in the coma become any worse if she was exposed to my friend with the cold. We weren't sure because of her being in a coma and sick with pneumonia if she could become any sicker then she is now?
Yes your friend can get sicker.  (+ info)

What would happen if we went into coma multiple times?

---

Lets say you had a car accident tomorrow, and had severe brain damage
and you went into coma. Then you come out of Coma after 3 months.
Then you fall down the staircase and go into coma again
Recover in 6 months
Then you hit your head on a door nail and go into Coma again.
Recover after 5 years. Then you take drugs, heroine, alcohol etc...
But then finally you decided to stop. Could you still become yourself again?
You might enjoy reading about Terry Wallis, who came out of a 20 year Coma. Wallis had been thrown from his pickup truck, and had Diffuse Axonal Injury. The hospital did the usual tests and he was pronounced in a persistent vegetative state. Later the family would see signs that he was trying to communicate, and that he was trying to reach for things, but the hospital refused to retest. The signs are
Inconsistent intelligible verbalization. Trying to reach for things. And when the patient is presented with something that smells noxious, they turn head away. When he was finally scanned it was shown that the brain had repaired itself by making new pathways from the left side of the brain to the right. Now it is important to remember that he was in an accident. Usually after drugs, (as in the case of Terry Schiavo) the brain shrinks, when they did the autopsy after Schrivo's death her brain was not trying to make new pathways. So the brain forms new pathways to take care of functions after an accident, but does not recover after drug use.( My conclusion).  (+ info)

What are the chances of surviving a coma if getting high caused it?

---

Some girl went into a coma and shes in the hospital right now and people say she was sad and depressed and got high alone. What are the chances of her living?
No one can answer this .... her physician can only give the best "chances" ... there is not enough info to make an educated speculation ... and a speculation would be the best anyone could do ....  (+ info)

How do you measure the wellness of a person in a coma?

---

Like, is there a measure of a coma? Is it in brain activity, or something else, or is all a coma basically the same serverity?
Probably brain activity because your brain still functions while being in a coma.  (+ info)

What happens usually if you slip into a coma after a brain aneurysm?

---

My mom had a brain aneurysm Monday night, they clipped it, then she slipped into a coma on Wednesday. No body will really tell me anything that's happening. How bad is it?
I know that the coma wasn't induced.
Honestly-They clipped it to stop the blood flow.

And thanks for the answers.
Oh Ella I hope everything is okay :) love from Wales.  (+ info)

What happens when someone wakes up from a coma?

---

I'm writing a story that involves someone waking up from a two year coma, and I'd like to know what problems they would have. Whether they would be disorientated. Anything really. I've tried Google-ing it but I haven't got any helpful answers.
There's a programmme on Monday night at 9pm, ITV I think, about someone who awakes from a coma after 18 years. I'd assume that even after 2 years disorientation would be a huge problem. Ageing - not looking like you did when you went into a coma and children changing dramatically- life moving on without you - maybe a partner not waiting for you - general economic affairs - such as change in PM - technology moving on - mobile phones etc. Hope that helps and good luck x  (+ info)
