Acute cerebral hemorrhage

A cerebral hemorrhage refers to the rupture of a blood vessel in a person's brain. If too much blood is lost, it may lead to death. Patients with cerebral hemorrhage are generally people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and the reason for cerebral hemorrhage is often due to strong stimulation. Most of the situations that exist in most people are acute. So how should we save the situation of acute cerebral hemorrhage?

In the eyes of many people, cerebral hemorrhage has always been a disease that middle-aged and elderly people are prone to. In fact, in recent years, the age of people suffering from cerebral hemorrhage has gradually become younger. According to incomplete statistics, the proportion of middle-aged and young patients is increasing, mainly between 20 and 45 years old, so young people should pay more attention to this disease. Since cerebral hemorrhage has an acute onset, usually lasting only a few minutes or hours, the mortality rate during the onset period is very high. If a friend or family member suddenly suffers a cerebral hemorrhage, what can you do to give them a chance to survive? Here we will introduce to you the emergency treatment methods for acute cerebral hemorrhage, please study carefully.

If someone in your family suffers a cerebral hemorrhage, the first five minutes of first aid and an emergency call to 120 are crucial, and maintaining unobstructed breathing is the key to first aid.

If the patient falls in a small place such as a toilet or bathtub, family members should keep the patient's head level and move him to a spacious place as soon as possible, keep him steady and quiet, and call an ambulance immediately. Before the ambulance arrives, take measures to ensure that the airway is open: loosen the patient's collar, and place him in a side-lying position to allow oral secretions to flow out on their own, or wrap the patient's tongue with gauze and pull it out to prevent the root of the tongue from falling back and blocking the airway and causing suffocation; clear the mucus, secretions and vomitus in the mouth to keep the airway open. If choking, clean the mouth as quickly as possible and perform artificial respiration. At the same time, patients with cerebral hemorrhage who have high blood pressure and are conscious can take oral drugs to control blood pressure and protect the heart. "For all patients suffering from cerebral hemorrhage, 'time is brain'. The longer the cerebral hemorrhage and hypoxia last, the larger the area of ​​brain necrosis will be. Therefore, they should seek professional diagnosis and treatment from a doctor as soon as possible." An authoritative expert stressed.

What is the difference between cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction? Simply put, cerebral hemorrhage is caused by rupture of blood vessels in the brain, increased intracranial congestion and pressure, leading to acute brain necrosis. Cerebral infarction is caused by the blockage of cerebral blood vessels by blood clots, which leads to the death of brain cells due to ischemia and hypoxia.
