my husband had a motorcycle accident this past wednsday. Along with numerous broken bones, he suffered a brain injury. He has a left temporal and left frontal lobe contusion. Inital assessement (at scene) GCS of 7. HE was dx as being in a coma.
He has very purposeful movement ( sometimes to commands, always localizes and withdraws from pain) he opens his eyes on occassion and will sometimes squeeze my hands if asked. He is on a vent and 10mcg of fentanyl for sedation. My question is what type of coma is this? I have looked up info about them, and nothing is specific. Any suggestions? Help?
