Brief Answer:
That Depends

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for asking again.

Yes,the person may be revived from coma but depending on a lot of other factors
i.e. time duration since it happened/person's condition before the incident, how much amount was thrown-up(or if at all thrown up), any gasping for breath after the incident and a lot of other factors

Either way its a life threatening condition and every single moment is important for the person's survival, should be rushed to the nearest ER at the earliest.
