when patients with cerebral infarction are comatose, they should be given timely brain-rejuvenating treatment. brain-rejuvenating drugs are often used clinically, and intravenous drips can also be given if necessary.
for patients with cerebral infarction who are comatose, they generally have cerebral edema and increased intracranial pressure, and need to use drugs to lower intracranial pressure.
patients often have dysphagia. if the patient has dysphagia and is difficult to recover in a short period of time, he should be given a lower gastric tube, a retained gastric tube, a nasogastric diet, and nasogastric administration as soon as possible to prevent aspiration pneumonia and aspiration.
for comatose patients with cerebral infarction, who are usually in a passive supine position for a long time, they should be turned over and patted on the back regularly to prevent the occurrence of accumulation pneumonia and prevent bedsores.
at the same time, the lower limbs should be moved appropriately to prevent the formation of deep vein thrombosis in the lower limbs, which may lead to pulmonary embolism.
