What are the early symptoms and treatment of cerebral infarction?

Cerebral infarction is a common cerebrovascular disease with high morbidity, high disability and high mortality. Understanding the early symptoms and treatment of cerebral infarction is very important for timely medical treatment and rehabilitation. The early symptoms of cerebral infarction mainly include: 1. Facial or unilateral limb numbness, weakness: This is one of the common early symptoms of cerebral infarction, may appear unilateral face, upper limbs or lower limbs numbness, weakness, or even unable to move. 2. unclear speech or aphasia: suddenly appear unclear speech, expression difficulties or aphasia, unable to express their own meaning. 3. dizziness, headache: often manifested as sudden onset of dizziness, headache, sometimes accompanied by nausea, vomiting. 4. Blurred vision or blindness: blurred vision in one or both eyes, blindness, or diplopia. 5. Walking difficulties or loss of balance: sudden instability, ataxia, or even falls. 6. Consciousness disorders: mild manifestations of lethargy, lethargy, severe cases may appear coma. Treatment methods for cerebral infarction mainly include: 1. Thrombolytic therapy: Within 4.5 hours of onset, thrombolytic drugs can be used to dissolve thrombus and restore blood flow, but thrombolytic therapy has strict time window restrictions and there is a risk of bleeding. 2. Antiplatelet therapy: commonly used drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel, etc., which can inhibit platelet aggregation and prevent thrombosis. 3. Anticoagulation therapy: For patients with cardiogenic cerebral embolism such as atrial fibrillation, it can prevent thrombosis. 4. Neuroprotective therapy: protect nerve cells and reduce brain damage by using some drugs. 5. Surgical treatment: For severe cerebral infarction, such as large vessel occlusion or cerebral hernia formation, surgical treatment may be required, such as endovascular intervention or decompressive craniectomy. 6. Rehabilitation therapy: Physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, etc., help restore the patient's function and improve the quality of life. For patients with cerebral infarction, early detection and early treatment are essential. If the above symptoms occur, seek medical attention immediately and perform relevant examinations, such as skull CT or MRI, to confirm the diagnosis. During treatment, patients need to stay in bed, keep respiratory tract unobstructed, and closely monitor vital signs. At the same time, family members should cooperate with doctors to provide psychological support and care for patients. For high-risk groups, such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, atrial fibrillation, etc., patients should actively control related diseases and conduct regular physical examinations to prevent cerebral infarction. In addition, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as smoking cessation and alcohol restriction, moderate exercise, low-salt and low-fat diet, can also help prevent cerebral infarction. In short, early symptoms and treatment of cerebral infarction need to be paid attention to. Timely medical treatment, early treatment and rehabilitation are the keys to improve the prognosis of patients with cerebral infarction.
