What to do if cerebral infarction is unconscious


Dedicated to your healing journey.
If the patient is unconscious after a cerebral infarction, consider that the infarction is located in the vertebrobasilar artery system, i.e., in the brain stem or cerebellum, or a large infarction in the middle cerebral artery, both of which cause coma. Depending on the location of the infarction, in addition to basic antiplatelet therapy, i.e., aspirin therapy, dehydration and intracranial pressure reduction therapy should be performed. If the patient has no clear contraindication, he can also consider giving fibrotic treatment. If the onset is within six hours, urokinase or alteplase thrombolytic therapy can be considered. In addition, combined with the patient's condition, if there is a large area of infarction, there is a clear brain edema, there is a tendency to brain hernia, it is recommended to perform decompressive surgery, and at the same time give Niuhuang Angong Pill or Xingnaojing for static point.
