Are cerebral infarction patients conscious?

Most patients with cerebral infarction are conscious. The vast majority of patients with subcortical infarction, mild brainstem infarction and partial cortical infarction do not show consciousness disorders. These patients account for more than 80% of all cerebral infarction patients. These patients can show cognitive decline, dysarthria, aphasia, limb weakness, paresthesia, ataxia and other manifestations, but a few severe brainstem infarction and large infarction involving the cortex can lead to patients showing consciousness disorders. These patients mainly involve the brainstem reticular structure, and cortical arousal function and lead to consciousness disorders, patients can show lethargy, lethargy, light coma, deep coma and other different degrees of consciousness disorders. Some patients after dehydration to reduce intracranial pressure, brain protection, neuronutrition, decompressive craniectomy and other treatment of consciousness disorders can be improved, but also some serious patients symptoms difficult to alleviate, and finally died of cerebral hernia, pneumonia and other complications.
