In the famous song: “There is only a moment between past and future”. It is called our life. But what if this “moment” a person spends unconscious? Is it worth it in this case for him to stay? The exact answer to this question no one will. However, there are cases when a person decades hovered between life and death, and clutched at it “moment”. Talk about the long-term coma, visited by people.
The coma of debt was recorded in the United States. At the end of 1969, the New year, 16-year-old girl with pneumonia was admitted to the hospital. Whether this is the usual case in practice, it would have passed the course of treatment and returned to normal life. But Edward O’of the Bar who had diabetes. January 3, insulin is not made up of the circulatory system, and the girl for years and lost consciousness.
The Last phrase of the modern ‘Snow white” was the request to his mother not to leave her. The woman kept his word: thirty-five years spent at the bedside of his daughter. She celebrated all her birthdays, read her books and believe in the best. Went only to sleep and shower. In 2008, the mother died, and her burden was taken by the sister of an unusual patient.
In November 2012 at the age of 59 years “Snow” has died. Thus, the longest coma lasted 42 years.
It is Noteworthy that all unconscious when she spent with open eyes. She had not seen or heard of others, on what does not react. To shut my eyes Edward O’Bar Has only in the day of his death. the

Until recently, doctors were sure that between life and death, the man is only the first month. Then his return to consciousness is impossible. Some relatives of patients this situation is not satisfied, and they waited years at the bedside of a loved one, until he wakes up.
The long coma, after which the patient began to respond to others, lasted 20 years. That's the number of years spent without consciousness of American Sarah Scantlin, after she was hit by a drunk driver. To be precise, unconscious she spent 16 years. Then began to chat with friends with your eyes. After 4 years it was back some reflexes, and speech. However, Sarah after waking up sincerely believed that she was still 18 years old.
In fact, the longest coma, after which the people woke up, happened to a resident of Poland – Jan Grzebski. Pole unconscious spent 19 years. When Ian woke up, he was most impressed by the number and range of goods in shops. And for good reason. “Slept” he in the early eighties, when the country was under martial law. Woke up Grzebski in 2007.
In these countries, too, there are cases of miraculous return to life. So, Russian teen Valera, Narodniho recovered after 2.5 years of deep sleep. In a coma for 15-year-old boy found himself after he received an electric shock.
Ukrainian young man, Kostya Salamaha, unconscious spent 2 years. In a hospital bed he was after the accident. Riding on the bike 14-year-old boy was hit by a car.
Of Course, both of these examples may not occupy a place in the Guinness Book of world records in the category “The longest coma”. But the parents certainly didn't want the boys became famous that way. In both cases, relatives say that the miracle occurred because relatives prayed and believed in him.
The longest coma from which came man, forced scientists to re-examine this unconscious state. It is now known that the brain is able to recover himself. However, it is unclear how “enable” this mechanism.
African researchers believe that it is possible to find a cure for coma. According to them, temporarily allow the human mind in our time. Some hypnotics have the following properties. However, this issue is poorly studied.
Yet, according to observers, the hardest thing for a person who was between life and death, – psychological adaptation. The patient is difficult to believe that he was older, his family grew old, children grew up and the world has changed.
Some people, after returning from a deep sleep, just don't understand their loved ones. So, for example English, Linda Walker, waking, began to speak in Jamaican dialect. Doctors believe that the case is associated with genetic memory. Perhaps Linda's ancestors were native Spanish speakers.
Still don't understand why some people fall into such a state. But each case speaks to the fact that in the body there was some deviation.
At the moment there are more than 30 types of comas:
Any kind of deep sleep – it's a dangerous condition between life and death. In the cortex the inhibition, impaired nervous system and blood circulation. The man extinguished reflexes. More he remindsplant.
It used to be that people in a coma can't feel anything. Everything changed after what happened to Martin Pistorius. The young man of tonsillitis slipped into a coma, and lived there for 12 years. After waking up in 2000, Martin said that he felt and understood it, simply could not send a signal. Currently, the man is married and works as a designer.
A Diabetic coma is in a separate row. It was 42 years, the first heroine of our article. The important thing is that at the initial stage of the disease, person can help.
When the body in diabetes the level of glucose in blood and toxins accumulate, and then developing hyperglycemic coma. The symptoms are as follows:
After these symptoms the person may lose consciousness, fall into a coma and die. To avoid this, an urgent need to inject insulin intravenously or intramuscularly. And to call an ambulance.
Important not to confuse this type of loss of consciousness from hypoglycemia. The last disease in the blood in the blood sugar drops. Insulin in this case, only harm.
