Brainstem Injury SOS, Emergency 5, Brainstem Injury SOS, Urgent

Hey, I was stunned when I saw the word brain stem, my brother had an accident in the 20091122 brain stem injury, and the family spent 67 days in a coma in torment, my brother has always been able to open his eyes and the right half of his body is restless and agitated is tied, pay attention not to infect the lungs at the same time talk to him and massage the limbs, not in a hurry to recover, the doctor told us from the time we came to the brain stem injury can only rely on its own recovery, the drug is just an auxiliary effect, be patient, it will definitely be good, My brother is now talking and eating in his mouth, and he is very good at eating melon seeds! I just can't stand on my own. I'm writing and contacting him to do it, and the road is really long!

He can still write when he can't speak clearly! I wish your dad a speedy awakening and a speedy **! Come on, the moment your loved ones open their eyes to look at you, you will feel that everything is worth it!

Hang on**. Massage the limbs and regularly turn over the house bedsores.

Talk to him more often and engage him with topics he likes.

There are conditions to do hyperbaric oxygen and acupuncture, etc.

It felt like he was going to wake up soon.

It's harder. Brainstem injury is one of the more intractable problems in brain injury.

The prognosis is usually poor.

The rate of death and disability is high.

This situation may be due to the fact that your father is already sober.

However, it is impossible to move due to damage to the brainstem.

Relevant tests are recommended.

As long as there is damage to the brainstem, cerebellum, and spinal nerves, it will affect people's actions, like your father's brain stem injury, it will not get better for a lifetime, you should take good care of him in the future.

Brain stem injury, this thing is very serious, it can become vegetative...

Severe primary brainstem injuries with a long duration of coma require early tracheostomy, ventilator-assisted breathing, and hypothermia**. For patients with mild brainstem injury, cerebral contusion and laceration can be pressed**, some patients can get good results, and for severe cases, the mortality rate is very high, so the treatment work should be careful and serious, there should be a long-term plan, and nursing work is particularly important, at the same time, pay close attention to the prevention and treatment of various complications. 1.

Protects the central nervous system, uses hibernation as appropriate**, and reduces brain metabolism; active anti-cerebral edema; Use of hormones and neurotrophic drugs. 2.Whole-body support**, maintenance of nutrition, prevention and correction of water and electrolyte imbalances.

3.Actively prevent and manage complications, most commonly lung infections, urinary tract infections, and pressure ulcers. For patients with severe consciousness impairment and respiratory dysfunction, early tracheostomy is necessary, but care should be strengthened after tracheostomy to reduce the chance of infection4

Secondary brainstem injuries should be diagnosed as early as possible and removed promptly**. If it is delayed for too long, the effect is not good. 5.

The recovery period should focus on the improvement of brainstem function, and recovery drugs and hyperbaric oxygen chambers** can be used to enhance the body's resistance and prevent and treat complications.

There are centers in the brainstem such as cardiovascular movement, respiration, etc., which, if damaged, can cause the heartbeat to stop breathing. Maybe it's not a brainstem injury. If the left arm and left leg are sluggish, could it be that the right cerebral hemisphere is damaged?

The right cerebral hemisphere controls the activity of the left half of the body. In addition, being able to hear sounds means that the auditory center in the cerebral cortex is good, but if you can't see things, is it because the visual center of the cerebral cortex is damaged? It's best to double-check.

Hello, brain stem damage will cause some sequelae, and it is more difficult to fully recover to ordinary people, but after intensive exercise, you can return to the ability to live and take care of yourself.

Guidance: If the patient has limb mobility impairment now, he should go to the **center to receive **training, and he should also be encouraged to train at home to speed up the recovery of the patient's function.

Brainstem injury is a very serious condition, and the form of injury is more common in some traumatic brain injuries, which we call diffuse axonal injury. This is mainly due to some inverted trauma to the head, which can lead to some brainstem damage. In this case, it is necessary to actively maintain blood pressure, heartbeat and breathing, which can easily lead to disability and death.

After cranial nerve injury, it is recommended to combine traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine**, Western medicine to relieve symptoms, and Chinese medicine to promote recovery.

1. The condition of all brainstem injuries is serious, and the current ** effect is not satisfactory; In patients with mild brainstem injury, cerebral contusion and laceration** may result in a good response in some patients, while in severe cases, the mortality rate is high. Therefore, the treatment work should be careful and serious, with a long-term plan, and nursing work is particularly important. (1) Protection of the central nervous system:

Hibernation** is used as appropriate to reduce brain metabolism; active anti-cerebral edema; Use of hormones and neurotrophic drugs. (2) Whole body support**: Maintain nutrition, prevent and correct water and electrolyte imbalances.

3) Proactive prevention and management of complications: the most common are lung infections, urinary tract infections and pressure sores. Strengthen nursing, close observation, early detection, and timely**.

For patients with severe impaired consciousness and respiratory disturbances, early tracheostomy is necessary, but care should be strengthened after tracheostomy to reduce the chance of infection. (4) Secondary brainstem injury should be diagnosed as soon as possible and removed in time. If it is delayed for too long, the effect is not good.

Clause.

First, the posterior occipital force, there are generally impact injuries, the main damage site should be in the forehead temporal, and there may be bilateral hard model hematoma, cerebral contusion, intracerebral hematoma formation. The brain tissue is significantly swollen, the brainstem is compressed, and there may even be brainstem contusion and edema. The prognosis for these patients, especially those with brainstem injury, is generally poor.

Craniotomy hematoma removal and bone flap decompression are mostly selected for surgery, which has been 13 days at present, and the peak period of edema is generally 7 to 14 days, and it has basically entered the edema absorption period. Don't know what the results of the most recent follow-up head CT are? Presence or absence of necrosis of brain tissue, swelling.

Clause. 2. The symptoms and signs you described such as poor gastrointestinal function, lung infection, and diabetes insipidus are all symptoms of head injury, especially brain stem injury, especially the heartbeat and blood pressure have been maintained by medication. Patients with severe head injury will present with cushing ulcers, which are reflected as gastrointestinal bleeding, also known as gastrointestinal bleeding, combined with pulmonary infections and urinary tract infections.

Diabetes insipidus means damage to the hypothalamus, and heartbeat and blood pressure reflect damage to the brainstem, especially the medulla oblongata and pontine area, so it is judged that the patient's current condition is particularly critical. I think the hospital has definitely issued you a critical illness notice.

Clause. 3. At present, the key issue is spontaneous breathing, whether the normal circulatory system can appear, if it is still unable to recover in the near future, it is estimated that the prognosis of the patient will not be very good.

Finally, I sincerely wish that I can get through the difficulties and turn the crisis into safety.

For example, if your hand is cut or bruised, it will become swollen and inflamed the next day, and it will slowly grow after about a week. Well, I have to leave a scar.

The brain is much more complex than that, and it is airtight, and the water does not dry out easily (it can only be absorbed slowly) for 1---3 months, and some are even longer.

The cranial nerves are closely connected, edema compresses, and many abnormal occurrences of people (coma, nonsense, abnormal behavior, etc., depending on which part of the brain is hurt), and no one is sure when they will be awake.

The doctor will give you an approximate idea based on the location of the injured brain.

Turn over frequently to prevent pressure sores, and move the wrist joint to prevent necrosis.

Consult your doctor. I can only say approximately.

Now he is in a deep coma, and the patient has hemorrhage in the brainstem, which controls vital functions such as breathing and heartbeat, and the lungs have begun to become infected. Family members still have to be psychologically prepared The day before yesterday, my uncle also had a brain stem hemorrhage, and after being sent to the emergency department of the Affiliated Hospital of Luzhou Medical College (a tertiary hospital) for a CT scan, he asked us to prepare for the aftermath, and the ventilator left in less than a minute. At that time, the doctor said that a million could not be cured, and it could only be maintained on a ventilator.
