  • Title: [Phoniatric and orthophonic management of patients during the awakening phase of coma].
    Author: Danoy MC, Curallucci H, Dor AM.
    Journal: Rev Laryngol Otol Rhinol (Bord); 1992; 113(4):321-6. PubMed ID: 1344548.
    Abstract:
    The creation of a structure adapted to serious head injuries, in the awakening phase of a coma, enables early treatment of these patients upon leaving intensive care. Along with a pluridisciplinary team, speech therapists will help establish non-verbal communication by setting up a yes-no code and by favouring and programming the resumption of deglutition before soliciting verbal communication and recuperation of the memory and all the cognitive functions.
