Comatose child?!
Question: Comatose child!?
There is a child I know of (a friend of a friend's child) who is in a coma from smoke inhalation from a fire in his house!. What are the chances of a child surviving this kind of tragedy!? He is 4, and he's been in a coma for a week now!. I feel terrible for him and I've looked for info on the net about it but couldn't find anything!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

With modern medical systems his chances are very good, although there is still the small possibility of brain damage depending on how long he was deprived of oxygen!. My ex-partner was a firefighter and told me it doesn't take much smoke to kill a child but if they are rescued in adequate time then resuscitation techniques are very advanced!. I hope he makes a full recovery!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
If his only problem is smoke inhalation, his chances are pretty good - but it really depends on the severity of the smoke inhalation and if there are any other issues!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
He could very easily have a full recovery!. Sounds like it is brain damage from lack of oxygen to the brain!. Just look up oxygen deprivation!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
