Hello
Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that husband of your friend ids admitted in ICU in comatose condition due to what is called as Septicaemia.
Since he is ICU and in coma he is likely to be on ventilator(Life Support).
Please continue whatever treatment he is getting and hope for the best outcome and recovery.
