Coma - Cell Tissue Technology

INTRODUCTION

Coma: A state of deep unresponsiveness, where a person cannot be woken and is unconscious.

Coma typically is a sign of minimal mental activity due to the failure of the brain to function properly. Their body can still exercise involuntary actions like breathing, digestion and heart beating, but cannot respond to external stimuli that require voluntary actions such as responding to pain, eating and defecating. In some cases, comatose people may need machines to help them breathe normally. Normally, a coma will last for a few weeks before slowly regaining consciousness. Any longer than that will progress a coma to a vegetative state or even worse, brain death.

SYMPTOMS

The symptoms of coma are based on the state of unresponsiveness to external stimuli. These may include:

Closed eyes
Irregular breathing
Unresponsive limbs, excluding reflex movements
No reaction to painful stimuli, excluding reflex movements
No brain-stem motor-reflex such as pupils not responding to bright light

WHAT CAUSES COMA?

Any physical traumas, diseases and chemical usages that affect the brain either directly or indirectly may cause coma. Several common causes of coma are:

Cerebral infarction
Cerebral neoplasms
Hypoglycemia
Metabolic encephalopathy
Status epilepticus
Toxic encephalopathy
Cerebral hemorrhage
- Spontaneous
- Traumatic
Myxedema

CURRENT TREATMENTS

A comatose person requires a medical treatment in order to stabilize the patient. To put it simply, the treatments are based on the cause of the coma itself:

Causes of coma	Treatment
Drug poisoning	Naloxone
Altered mental status	Serum glucose
Unknown cause of coma	Need a further evaluation
Head trauma	Amantadine

HOW IT WORKS

A comatose person needs constant vigilance and should be monitored for any kind of response and stimulus. In general, their health is at risk of being compromised due to impaired motor functions and consciousness. Therefore, they require thorough long-term care by their caretakers to preserve their general wellness, especially if they have injuries leading to a state of coma. Medications that promote the healing of related injuries and overall health would be suited to help treat them.

WHAT WE OFFER?

STEM CELL THERAPY - CELLTIMAX

CelltiMax is a product derived from human umbilical cord-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs). The cells are cultured, then administered to the patient via intramuscular or intravenous injection.

The cells have low immunogenicity making them safe, well-tolerated and free of side effects. They have the ability to differentiate into specialized cells with specific functions for various parts of the body, and can reduce inflammation, repair, renew, regenerate, and replace damaged cells.
