Artificial Coma: Purpose, Practice, and Ethical Considerations in Modern Medicine
An artificial coma, also known as a medically induced coma, is a controlled medical state in which a patient is rendered unconscious using drugs such as barbiturates or anesthetics. This approach is not used lightly; it is typically reserved for severe, life-threatening conditions where the brain or body requires rest to heal. Common scenarios include traumatic brain injury, refractory seizures, severe infections affecting the brain, and complications following major surgery.
The primary goal of inducing a coma is to reduce brain activity. By slowing metabolism and decreasing oxygen demand, doctors can limit secondary damage after injury. In cases of elevated intracranial pressure, an artificial coma may help prevent further swelling and preserve vital brain tissue. Patients in this state are closely monitored in intensive care units, where vital signs, brain activity, and organ function are continuously assessed.
Despite its benefits, a medically induced coma carries significant risks. Prolonged immobility can…
