Is There Any Hope Of Recovery?
I have a 25 year old friend, that had a cardiac arrest, she was flat-line for 40minutes, the response team reanimated her, she was ventilated and now is in coma with a anoxic encephalopathy breathing with no ventilator support (traqueostomy). Is there any hope of recovery, any place in the world, that can restore the dead brain cells (stem cells?)?

stem cells is not approved until now
however its not used for brain tissue until these days
for your friend, usually if she will wake up it may wake during the first 2 weks after that it will.be not easy to wake
may become vintilator dependent
