Is severe coma caused by cerebral hemorrhage serious?

Cerebral hemorrhage is a common physical disease for many people. It usually occurs in middle-aged and elderly people. There are many causes of cerebral hemorrhage. High blood pressure or high blood lipids can easily lead to cerebral hemorrhage. Cerebral hemorrhage can easily lead to coma, and severe coma can easily lead to life-threatening. Generally, the patient will wake up after 7-9 days of coma. If he does not wake up, further examination and treatment are needed. You can talk to the patient more often to wake him up.

Is severe coma caused by cerebral hemorrhage serious?

The longer the coma lasts, the more serious the condition, the worse the prognosis, and even death. Currently, the only option is active hospitalization for treatment, regular CT scans, and necessary care under the guidance of a nurse. Fasting is currently required to avoid aspiration pneumonia or even airway obstruction. Condition analysis: Cerebral hemorrhage causes the patient to fall into a coma, and the duration of the coma is determined by the patient's physical condition and the extent of the cerebral hemorrhage.

Patients with good physical condition and small cerebral hemorrhage will usually wake up from the coma within 7 days. However, patients with weak physical condition and large cerebral hemorrhage may never wake up. Therefore, the treatment of cerebral hemorrhage is very important. For family members, in addition to cooperating with doctors in the hospital to treat brain awakening and nourishing brain cells, the most important thing is to care for and communicate with their loved ones.

How long does it take to wake up from a coma after a cerebral hemorrhage?

1. How long does it usually take to wake up from a coma caused by cerebral hemorrhage?

The duration of coma depends on the amount and site of bleeding, whether the midline is shifted, whether there is brain hernia, the patient's basic physical condition, and whether there are complications. If it is brain stem hemorrhage, it is very dangerous and has a high mortality rate. If the amount of bleeding in other parts of the body is large, the brain edema is severe, or there is even a risk of brain herniation, surgical treatment may be required. Generally speaking, if coma occurs after cerebral hemorrhage, it indicates that the condition is very serious.

2. How to give first aid to patients with coma caused by cerebral hemorrhage

Family members should control their emotions and not shout loudly or shake the unconscious person violently in order to wake him up, otherwise it will only make the condition worse rapidly.

Lay the patient flat on the bed. Due to increased intracranial pressure, such patients are very prone to projectile vomiting. If the vomitus is not cleared in time, the patient in a coma due to cerebral hemorrhage may suffocate to death due to vomitus blocking the airway. Therefore the patient's head must be turned to one side so that the vomit can flow out of the mouth. Family members can apply an ice pack or cold towel to the patient's forehead to help stop bleeding and reduce intracranial pressure.

If a patient faints on the roadside, in the bathroom or in a crowded place, he or she should first be carefully and gently carried to a bedroom or a spacious place. Then 2 to 3 people should work together to carry him or her onto a stretcher or flatbed cart. Avoid reckless movements, and then escort him or her to the hospital. Try to avoid long-distance shipping. Long-term transfer of patients in the acute phase is often detrimental to their condition. On the one hand, it delays treatment, and on the other hand, the vibration during transportation can aggravate cerebral hemorrhage. Therefore, they should be sent to a nearby hospital as much as possible.

3. What are the signs of cerebral hemorrhage?

If red or even black spots appear on the patient's nails, it means that there is a blood circulation disorder in the body, which is a precursor to cerebral hemorrhage. In order to prevent cerebral hemorrhage, when these spots appear, you can stimulate the "Shangyang" point located about 2 mm below the thumb side of the index finger nail (near the first joint); the "Shaochong" point on the little finger and the "Guanchong" point on the ring finger nail at the same position as before are also very important acupoints.

Suddenly, one side of the body felt numb, weak, and inconvenient to move. Objects in hand fell down, mouth was crooked, drooling, and walking was unstable.

When talking to someone, you suddenly become speechless, or your words are unclear, or you can't understand what others are saying.

Temporary blurred vision may return to normal on its own, or blindness may occur.

Suddenly I felt dizzy, the scenery around me seemed to be spinning, I couldn't stand steadily and even fainted. These symptoms may occur briefly, or they may recur or gradually worsen.
