How To Confirm If A Person Was In Induced Coma After A Brain Trauma?
My niece received head trama during a terrible beating ( no arrests yet). This was a week ago. She has been in a coma since she was found. The doctor said today that she is off of Paralytic as of today. Does this mean she has been in induced coma to keep her still to help her survive?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the head injury then nothing could be said properly until and unless examined the patient or see the CT brain imaging if patient found in comatose condition prior to get admitted in hospital then it may not be induced coma hope this information helps.
