Had they feared your friend had a hypoxia injury?
I had an EEG after I came round from my covid coma, because I had had a number of seizures while I was unconscious and they wanted to see if I had suffered a hypoxic brain injury.Hypoxic brain injuries occur when the brain is deprived of the necessary oxygen it needs.
Something that covid can cause by severely restricting our oxygen intake.
A later EEG was done after being me home for six months, and, while it showed some cell changes, there was no lasting brain damage.
Waking up from an induced coma can take some time and be confusing for patients. I hope your friend starts to improve.
