Hospitalist Questions Coma

How are child coma patients managed in hospital?

My friend's daughter is in the hospital and is in a coma as well. This happened ever since a car accident last month, where my friend and her husband were injured. How are child coma patients usually managed in a hospital? How are they monitored?

It all depends on the severity and cause. Typically these children should be in a pediatric intensive care unit being managed by pediatric specialists.
