Question

How do you not die of hunger in a coma?

In: Biology

Answer 1

You don’t die of hunger, you’d die of starvation. Assuming you’re in a health care facility they can place a tube, at first through your nose or mouth into the stomach and give nutrients, if it’s going to be more long term, the tube would be switched to a surgical placement. They can also provide nutrients through an IV.
