How many days can a brainstem infarction last?

When a patient has a brainstem infarction, it will affect the patient's life safety. If not treated in time, death may occur. This is mainly because brainstem infarction can cause symptoms such as hypoxia and difficulty breathing in patients. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek medical attention in time when an attack occurs. The survival time of patients with brainstem infarction is generally not long. If surgery is not performed within 3 hours of onset, death will usually occur.

Will there be a miracle after brain stem infarction?

Brain stem infarction can also be called brain stem infarction. You guessed it right, this is a very serious disease. Cerebral infarction can easily turn a person into a vegetative state or brain death. Generally, after the onset of the disease, the patient may not wake up for dozens of days, and the medical expenses are high every day, and there is also concern that the patient will not be able to afford the treatment costs. So, can a miracle happen after brainstem infarction?

The brainstem is mainly responsible for heartbeat, breathing, blood pressure, etc. If there is a problem with such an important part, the consequences will be disastrous. Therefore, brainstem infarction has a great possibility of causing death and disability. Generally, brainstem infarction will have precursors. If you pay attention and intervene with treatment early, there is a high chance of recovery. If you suddenly fall ill, are sent to the hospital and fall into a coma, it cannot be said that there is no possibility of recovery. You can only rely on the medical equipment and the level of the doctor, and this is a miracle. At the same time, speaking of an idealistic issue, if the patient himself has no desire to survive, there will be no so-called miracle. I have seen many patients who were still fascinated by the world, and they woke up when doctors had even given up treatment and believed that the possibility of their recovery was slim. The miracle is the result of everyone's joint efforts, the efforts of the hospital staff, the patient's own wishes, and his desire for life. Therefore, brainstem infarction can be a miracle, but it is called a miracle because the possibility is so small. The best thing is to intervene and treat early.

Optimal time for healing of brainstem infarction

The old man suddenly fell ill and was diagnosed with brainstem infarction. Some people may not seek medical treatment in time, delaying treatment. If we knew the best time to heal, would there be hope? So when is the best time to cure brainstem infarction?

Why do so many people become vegetative after suffering a brainstem infarction or still have various sequelae after waking up? This is because the best time for healing after a brainstem infarction has been missed. Even if the patient is cured, it will take a long time to recover. So, when is the best time to cure brainstem infarction? In fact, to treat brainstem infarction, we must seize the golden 3 hours. If we seize these "golden 3 hours", patients can suffer less pain and the chance of sequelae will be much lower.

For example, Mr. Jiang suddenly fell ill while watching TV. After his wife found out, she observed the symptoms, such as crooked mouth, inability to move one side of the body, slurred speech, etc., and determined that Mr. Jiang had brainstem infarction. She immediately called 120 and rushed to the hospital in about an hour. He immediately signed for thrombolytic treatment. After the treatment, Mr. Jiang was able to walk and his symptoms disappeared. Therefore, if thrombolysis is performed within these 3 hours, recovery is completely possible, and you just need to pay more attention in the future. The "golden 3 hours" is really the best time to cure brainstem infarction. If missed, there may be more dangers.

How many days is the critical period for brainstem infarction?

Brainstem infarction is a very harmful cerebrovascular disease, which can easily be life-threatening if not taken seriously. It generally has a dangerous period. How many days is this dangerous period? Let’s take a closer look below.

The critical period for brainstem infarction is generally 7-10 days, but the first 5-7 days are critical. Patients with brainstem infarction generally experience a peak period of cerebral edema for 7-10 days. If they successfully pass this stage, they can rest assured for the time being. In the later stage, the cooperation of the patient and his family is needed for rehabilitation treatment. During the critical period, it is necessary to observe the patient's condition every day, use medication for treatment, and maintain daily limb and joint exercises. Family members can assist the patient in doing these exercises. After the condition stabilizes, you can get out of bed and walk around appropriately, and carry out various aspects of training from getting up, balancing the body, standing, walking, etc., slowly increase the number of activities, and finally train to go up and down stairs. Generally, after a critical period of 7-10 days, the patient's condition can stabilize. All that’s left is to follow the doctor’s instructions, take medicine on time, do rehabilitation exercises regularly, and recover slowly.
