Do you get fed when you are in a coma?

Yes, individuals in a coma are typically fed through a medical process called enteral feeding, which involves delivering nutrition directly into the stomach via a feeding tube. This ensures that they receive the necessary nutrients and hydration, as they are unable to eat or drink on their own. In some cases, intravenous (IV) nutrition may be provided if enteral feeding is not feasible. Care teams closely monitor their nutritional needs during this time.
