How to wake up a person who is in a coma due to cerebral infarction

Coma is a very common phenomenon for patients with cerebral infarction. If a cerebral infarction patient falls into a coma due to cerebral infarction, his family must do a good job of nursing, so as to ensure that the patient's body functions can remain normal during the coma. If the patient receives certain training, the comatose cerebral infarction patient can even be awakened. Here are some methods to wake up people who are in a coma due to cerebral infarction.

If they are well cared for, it will be beneficial to the recovery of the disease and the patients will wake up soon. It is recommended that we not only cooperate with the doctor's treatment, but also as family members, we should pay more attention.

1. Active activities

Try to let patients with cerebral infarction do active exercises. Muscle contraction provides a good pumping effect to reduce edema. The patient can be asked to do some activities with the affected limb raised, such as finger grasping, grasping a wooden stick, twisting a towel, etc.

2. Passive activities

Passive movements should be gentle so as not to cause pain or aggravate pain. The patient can use the healthy limb to lift the affected limb, or perform forearm pronation and supination, wrist dorsiflexion and extension exercises within the pain-free range to maintain the normal range of motion of the joint of the affected limb. Maintaining a good posture can not only prevent the occurrence of shoulder-hand syndrome, but also prevent the disease from getting worse even after it occurs, reduce disability, and improve the patient's quality of life.

3. Bed training

Lay the foundation for standing and walking. Such as: turning over, sitting up, sitting balance three-level training, the focus is on the training of shifting the center of gravity to the affected side.

Special attention: Regardless of gender, people over 40 years old are advised to pay attention to preventing cerebral infarction, regularly check for dyslipidemia, high blood sugar, and high blood viscosity, and take corresponding treatment. Never ignore it to avoid irreversible consequences.

2. How to prevent cerebral infarction

1. The elderly should engage in appropriate activities, which is beneficial to improving cerebral circulation. If they are unconscious, they should rest in bed and receive enhanced care.

2. Appropriate drugs can be selected to improve cerebral blood circulation, increase cerebral blood flow, and promote the establishment of collateral circulation in an attempt to reduce the area of ​​infarction.

3. Thrombolytic therapy: urokinase and streptokinase are commonly used to dissolve blood clots. Because the blood clot is rich in water and easily soluble within the first day of formation, the effect will be quick and the treatment course will be short. However, the condition should be closely monitored to avoid serious consequences such as cerebral hemorrhage.
