When you see signs of hypoxic brain injury on imaging or when multiple organs start to fail, then less likely. When you fully take them off the sedative and paralytic meds inducing the coma, but they don't show any non-reflexive neurological responses or if formal brain death exam is positive then unlikely

There's always outliers. The one percent. But especially for catastrophic brain injury, you're really talking about a very small percentage
