Symptoms before death from brainstem hemorrhage

After brain death, a person is often determined to be dead, which is also one of the medical bases. Many elderly people suffer from cerebral hemorrhage. If they do not receive timely medical treatment, they are likely to die. The symptoms before death from brainstem hemorrhage are also very typical, namely headache and inability to breathe. Some people will experience black spots in front of their eyes and stiff tongue due to repeated cerebral hemorrhage, which means they are unable to move or even speak a word. If these conditions are not treated promptly, the consequences will be serious.

The symptoms of brainstem hemorrhage are as follows

1. Patients often experience sudden vertigo, that is, they suddenly feel dizzy and even want to faint.

2. Patients may occasionally experience language difficulties, either suddenly becoming unable to speak, or speaking unclearly, and others have no idea what they are saying. This is caused by a small amount of bleeding and compression of relevant functional areas of the brain.

3. The patient's tongue becomes stiff and drools from the corners of his mouth, which he cannot control.

4. The patient suddenly experiences numbness on one side of the body and functional disorders. For example, you are holding chopsticks and suddenly your hand goes numb and the chopsticks fall, or you suddenly become unable to walk. At this time, if the patient is asked to raise his hands and legs, he will not be able to do it.

5. The patient has vision problems, with black spots or double images appearing in front of his eyes.

6. The patient experiences severe headaches that are unbearable and painkillers are ineffective.

7. The patient is unable to make faces, whistle, etc. The facial muscles on both sides of the face will be uncoordinated, and one side will be very stiff.

In addition, if the above situation occurs and the patient says that he or she is sleepy and wants to sleep, he or she must be sent to the hospital immediately without delay.

Patients with brainstem hemorrhage are more likely to experience impaired consciousness, such as drowsiness, coma, moderate coma to deep coma. Vital signs gradually become unstable, and the patient may experience breathing difficulties or even be unable to breathe independently, requiring mechanical ventilation. There will also be dilation of the pupils and a continuous drop in blood pressure, which are the main symptoms before the patient dies. At present, the means of brainstem treatment are very limited. Brainstem hemorrhage is the most dangerous type of cerebral hemorrhage.
