What is a medically induced coma? If they can put them to sleep, why can they not wake them up?
In: 2
Medically induced comas are different from actual comas. With induced comas the body is essentially in a form of hibernation. Body functions are slowed and the brain doesn’t have enough energy to do more than maintain it’self. We can wake someone up from a medically induced coma, we just have to stop giving them drugs and wait for the drugs to leave their system
In an actual coma the body is fine but the brain is stuck somehow. We don’t actually know why this happens but we think it has something to do with brain damage.
