    A vegetative person is a person who is still alive, but cannot move like a plant. Such a vegetative person is not a normal person, unable to communicate and unable to move. Vegetative people are usually formed after severe trauma to brain tissue, which is different from hemiplegia (paralysis).

    Hemiplegia (paralysis) is conscious, can be in charge of controlling some body organs, and most of them can communicate verbally, but because some brain tissues (left or right brain) are damaged, half of the limbs cannot control activities, even if the nerve center below the neck is damaged and paralyzed, all organs (five senses) of the head can still control activities independently.

    In addition to the heartbeat, respiratory system, digestive system, and circulatory system, vegetative people can also function autonomously, and other parts of the body generally no longer have normal functions (vegetative people eat through nasogastric feeding tubes into the stomach), so vegetative people will be incontinent at any time. It is said that vegetative people still have knee thrust reactions (local nerve reactions).

    A vegetative person is a person without feelings, it should be the failure of the sensory center after the ** groove of the cerebral cortex, and other functions are there, but they have lost their dominance, so it is manifested as no movement and response, and the functions of major organs such as respiration, digestion, circulation, and urinary are still maintained, and the group time is long, because the regulation of the nervous system is lost, which will also lead to the disharmony of various organs.

    I saw a news before, a man became a vegetative person, and his family took care of him every day and talked to him to accompany him, and then he miraculously woke up, and then he told his family that when he was in a coma, his family knew everything he did to him, so although he became a vegetative person, in fact, his brain was still working.

    The so-called "vegetative person" is a partial impairment of brain function, that is, brain damage, while autonomic nerves are normal, that is, the brain is necrotic while the cerebellum, brainstem, etc. work normally.

    The brain is responsible for thinking and higher-order thinking, and the cerebellar brainstem spinal cord is responsible for the basic physiological functions of the human body, so as long as the cerebellar brainstem is not necrotic, the human body can maintain the statement, but the brain is necrotic and cannot think about memory, etc., showing the symptoms of "vegetative".

    The medical definition of a vegetative person is that the brain is not dead, so if a person hurts the back of the head, it is extremely easy to become a vegetative person, such as throwing objects from a high altitude, falling backwards, or falling from a high altitude.

    The brain is hit with a strong blow that impairs the function of the cerebral cortex, falling into a deep coma, unconscious, but still having spontaneous breathing and a state of mind, called a vegetative state.

    People with severely impaired brain function become vegetative. The brain is the center that controls the body, and all body activities need to send instructions through the brain, so people with severely impaired brain function will become vegetative.

    In the hospital, there is sometimes a special kind of patient who has his eyes wide open, sometimes looking at the walls, sometimes at the ceiling, sometimes at the people who approach him, but when others call his name loudly, he does not respond at all. Even when the object is suddenly placed in front of his eyes, he still does not blink in his eyes, and does not speak, move, eat, drink, and cannot control his bowel and bowel movements. These phenomena indicate that the patient's brain function has been lost and he is completely unconscious.

    Strangely, his innate instincts such as breathing, heartbeat, coughing, sneezing, and swallowing still exist, and he often relies on food such as liquid juice and milk to sustain his life. Such patients are just like plants, and can only absorb nutrients to stay alive, so they are called "vegetative people".

    There are many reasons for becoming "vegetative", such as severe traumatic brain injury, gas poisoning, or asphyxia, acute myocardial infarction causing breathing, and sudden cessation of heartbeat. Because after the patient's breathing and heartbeat stop, the blood and oxygen supply to the brain will also stop, and after a long time, the normal brain tissue will be seriously damaged, and at the same time, various metabolic disorders and brain cell acidosis will also occur. This damage tends to start in the cerebral cortex and gradually extend to the spinal cord, so the longer the cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, the greater the brain damage.

    It is medically believed that at room temperature and pressure, the brain can tolerate hypoxia for no more than 3 to 4 minutes. Generally, 15 seconds of hypoxia can cause a coma for several minutes; More than 3 minutes, it can produce a coma of several days; Death can occur when the heart stops beating for more than 5 minutes. Therefore, although some patients have been rescued and their breathing and heartbeat have been restored, the command of the nerve center, the high "command" of man, has failed, and they have become "vegetative".

    Vegetative is also defined in the international medical community as a "persistent vegetative state". Most of the patients in this state are due to head trauma or other reasons, such as drowning, stroke, asphyxia and other cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, neuronal degenerative changes, etc., resulting in long-term consciousness disorders, they have spontaneous breathing and heartbeat, but no cognitive ability for themselves and their surroundings.

    The definition of "vegetative" in the international medical community is "persistentvegetativestatus", or PVS for short. The so-called vegetative state is often a long-term impairment of consciousness caused by head trauma or other reasons, such as drowning, stroke, suffocation and other cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, neuronal degenerative changes, etc., which is manifested as the patient's lack of response to the environment and complete loss of cognitive ability to himself and his surroundings; Although the patient can swallow food, fall asleep and wake up, there is no difference between night and day, cannot move limbs at will, and completely loses the ability to take care of himself. It can retain the basic functions of physical survival, such as metabolism, growth and development.

    01 When a person's cerebral cortex function is severely impaired, the person will be in an irreversible deep coma, losing consciousness and activities, but can maintain spontaneous breathing movements and heartbeat, this state is called "vegetative state", and patients in this state are called "vegetative people".

    02 Prolonged lack of oxygen to the brain will cause damage to the cerebral cortex, and if the brain is severely damaged, it may lead to becoming a vegetative state. Such as drowning, suffocation.

    03 Persistent hypotension and cerebrovascular accidents, such as cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, subarachnoid hemorrhage, etc., can also lead to becoming a vegetative person.

    04 It may also be caused by other diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, multiple cerebral infarction, dementia, PICK disease, etc.

Vegetative people can be understood as people who exist like plants, and vegetative people do not have complex thinking skills firstly, and secondly, they are unable to move their limbs and have limited functions. Plants need air, sunlight, water, and soil to survive, and the vegetative brain only has the ability to process some of its basic survival, so patients who have been in a coma for a long time are compared to plants.

It is certain that you are not in a vegetative state, but should be apathetic due to hydrocephalus, mental retardation, and possibly urinary incontinence. Ventriculoperitoneal shunt may improve symptoms.
