In Florida, the duration a hospital may keep a patient in a coma can vary based on the patient's medical condition and prognosis. There is no specific legal limit on the length of time, but medical teams typically assess the patient's status regularly to determine the best course of action. Decisions regarding continued care often involve discussions with family and depend on factors such as the potential for recovery and the patient's wishes if known. Ultimately, the length of time in a coma is determined on a case-by-case basis by the healthcare professionals involved.
