The 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star flew to her estranged husband's hospital bedside last month after he was found unconscious in a Las Vegas brothel and she found the dash to be with him "terrifying".
She recalled: "It's a horrible call to get.
"Getting to the hospital and knowing he's in a coma and having to run these tests or make medical decisions - it's terrifying."
The 36-year-old sportsman woke from his come after three days and Khloe - who recently put her divorce from Lamar on hold - found it very "stressful" being in charge of making decisions on his medical treatment.
Speaking on the 'Today' show, she said: "You have to make risk-and-reward decisions.
"Like, OK, well, there's an 80 percent chance if we do this operation, he might pass away. But also if we don't do it, there's a 90 percent chance he'll pass away.
"Just having to make these executive decisions is really hard, I think on anybody. So it was definitely probably one of the most emotionally stressful times ever in my life."
Though Lamar is slowly getting back to health, the 31-year-old beauty admitted it will be some time before he is fully recovered.
She said: "He is learning how to walk again and learning ... cognitive therapy and speech therapy.
"They think, like, within a year and a half to two years that, mentally, he might be fully recovered. But they don't know."
