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


Answers:
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
