Medical Therapy
Patients with coma require immediate treatment in order to avoid serious consequences. Treatments depend on the underlying cause.
- Treatments on the underlying diseases, such as antibiotics for brain infections, maintenance of normal glucose for diabetes, alexipharmic for toxins, dialysis for kidney failure.
- Maintaining a healthy physical state, providing balanced nutrition.
- Physical therapy may be used to prevent contractures and deformities of the bones, joints, and muscles.
