Principles of cerebral embolism treatment

The principle of treatment for cerebral embolism is to improve blood circulation in the ischemic area as early as possible and promote the recovery of neurological function. For patients in the acute stage, thrombolytic therapy is mainly applied, which can be treated with streptokinase, urokinase and anticoagulant therapy, such as heparin or warfarin. Drugs to reduce intracranial pressure, including mannitol and glycerol fructose, and to increase cerebral blood volume and cerebral oxygen consumption to improve brain metabolism, are also required. The disability rate of cerebral embolism is very high, so once the patient's condition is stable, it is necessary to actively carry out functional exercises, especially physical function exercises and language function exercises. During the treatment period, patients must stay in bed, strengthen skin and oral care, and pay attention to the balance of water and electrolytes.
