Is the most dangerous brain stem infarction the fifth day?

Brain stem infarction is the most dangerous type of cerebral thrombosis, because the brain stem is the location of human life center, human respiratory center, circulation center, that is, the heartbeat center are in the brain stem. If the brain cells of the brain stem life center are ischemic or necrotic, nerve function damage will occur, resulting in respiratory, circulation and heartbeat stop. As long as the brainstem infarction occurs, the critical period is not necessarily the fifth day, but after the brainstem infarction occurs, it is in a critical period in the next 1-2 weeks. Therefore, the treatment of brainstem infarction is a race against time, and time is life.
