Learning objectives
What are life support machines
Lead-in
Life support machines enable patients to survive for a period of time while their body is recovering from a specific illness or injury. They benefit patients who only need them for a short time, as well as people who are attempting to maintain quality of life for the long term. Life support machines are also beneficial in the event that the patient is deemed “brain dead”. In these circumstances, the organs continue to receive oxygen-rich blood flow to keep them functioning.
Underline the following sentences on your textbook and try to guess the meaning of the highlighted words.
1. ...Terri’s parents still believed that her coma was only temporary.
2. Terri fell into a coma when a heart attack robbed her brain of oxygen, causing permanent harm.
3. When there is a minimum of harm to the brain and the coma is brief,...
4. ...doctors admit that they don’t know if or how well patients will progress...
