What are the complications of acute cerebral infarction?

After cerebral infarction, there will be many complications, such as infection, gastrointestinal bleeding, venous thrombosis of lower limbs, epilepsy, bedsore, etc., so the infection is divided into lung infection and urinary system infection, which are the two most common infections in infection, and lung infection is the most common complication and death cause after cerebral infarction stroke. about 60% of stroke patients die of lung infection. Well, there are two main reasons for lung infection. First, because stroke causes paralysis of throat muscles and disappearance of cough reflex, patients will show aspiration of oral secretions and food into the lungs and cause pneumonia; the second reason is hypostatic pneumonia caused by lying in bed for a long time. Digestive tract bleeding causes, mainly two aspects, the first is cerebral infarction itself caused by disease, is the so-called stress gastrointestinal bleeding. The second category is caused by some drugs, worthy of our attention in the treatment process. In addition to gastrointestinal bleeding, common complications include venous thrombosis of the lower extremities. Venous thrombosis of the lower extremities is caused by the inability of the lower extremities to move after the patient is paralyzed, resulting in blood flow obstruction. After venous thrombosis of the lower extremities, it will cause a serious complication, that is, pulmonary embolism. This mortality rate is also very high. Another common complication is bedsore. After cerebral infarction, paralysis of the limbs is caused, and it is difficult for the patient to turn over, resulting in skin bedsore.
