What are the symptoms and treatment of cerebral infarction

Cerebral infarction is a common cerebrovascular disease, with high morbidity, high disability rate, high mortality and high recurrence rate. once cerebral infarction occurs, patients may appear hemiplegia, aphasia, sensory disorders and other symptoms, seriously affecting the quality of life. Therefore, it is very important to understand the symptoms and treatment of cerebral infarction. 1. Symptoms of cerebral infarction 1. Limb weakness or numbness on one side of hemiplegia, inflexible activity, or even complete inability to move. 2. Aphasia, unclear speech or inability to speak. 3. Sensory impairment, numbness, tingling or burning sensation on one side of the face or limb. 4. Dizziness Suddenly feel dizzy, unstable standing, or even fainting. 5. Severe headache, often accompanied by nausea and vomiting. 6. Blurred vision Transient blurred vision or blindness 7. Consciousness disorders Sleepiness, coma or unconsciousness 2. Treatment of cerebral infarction 1. Drug therapy (1) Thrombolytic therapy Within 4.5 hours of onset, thrombolytic drugs can be used to dissolve thrombus and restore vascular patency.(2) Antiplatelet drugs commonly used are aspirin, clopidogrel, etc., which can inhibit platelet aggregation and prevent thrombosis.(3) Anticoagulation therapy is suitable for patients with cardiogenic cerebral infarction such as atrial fibrillation, which can prevent thrombosis.(4) Neuroprotective agents can reduce neuron damage and promote recovery.(5) Other drugs such as improving cerebral circulation, lowering intracranial pressure, controlling blood pressure, etc. 2. Interventional therapy (1) arterial thrombolysis within 6 hours of onset, thrombolytic drugs are injected directly into the infarction site by interventional means to dissolve the thrombus.(2) endovascular stent implantation is used to treat vascular stenosis or occlusion and restore vascular patency. 3. surgical treatment (1) craniotomy decompression is used for patients with severe cerebral infarction resulting in cerebral hernia. Decompression relieves intracranial hypertension.(2) Partial resection of brain tissue can be performed for large cerebral infarction and irreparable brain tissue.(4) Rehabilitation therapy includes physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, psychotherapy, etc. to help patients recover their functions and improve their quality of life. 3. Treatment precautions 1. The treatment effect of early treatment of cerebral infarction is closely related to the onset time. The earlier the treatment, the better the effect. Therefore, once suspected symptoms appear, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. 2. Comprehensive treatment of cerebral infarction requires comprehensive consideration of the patient's condition, physical condition and other factors to develop personalized treatment plans. 3. Prevention and treatment of complications Cerebral infarction may cause a variety of complications, such as lung infection, urinary system infection, etc., should pay attention to prevention and treatment.4. Rehabilitation training Rehabilitation training is very important for the recovery of cerebral infarction patients, patients should actively cooperate with rehabilitation training.5. Regular reexamination of cerebral infarction patients requires regular reexamination, monitoring of disease changes, and timely adjustment of treatment programs. 4. Prevention of cerebral infarction 1. Control risk factors Hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, atrial fibrillation are risk factors for cerebral infarction, and these diseases should be actively controlled. 2. Change lifestyle, quit smoking and limit alcohol, low-salt and low-fat diet, moderate exercise, and maintain a comfortable mood. 3. Regular physical examination Regular physical examination, timely detection of potential health problems, and appropriate measures. In short, cerebral infarction is a serious disease that requires timely treatment. At the same time, it is also very important to prevent the occurrence of cerebral infarction. Attention should be paid to controlling risk factors, changing lifestyles, and regular physical examinations. If suspected symptoms occur, seek medical attention as soon as possible for early diagnosis and treatment.
