um...They just go. That's what a bedpan is for. There bowels are relaxed so when they get full everything is just...released. Gross but true.

They do open their bowels, and as they're in a coma, their anal spincter muscles are no longer controlled voluntarily. So the autonomic nervous system controls it, and will cause the spincter muscles to relax to release faecal matter when the rectum is full.

I am sure the hosptial puts a depends like thing on them. But not sure. Also nothing going in but fluid really, so not too much to come out. Just my guess.
