[Phoniatric and orthophonic management of patients during the awakening phase of coma].
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.
