How to care for patients with cerebral hemorrhage?

Cerebral hemorrhage, commonly known as cerebral hemorrhage, is a disease with a high incidence among middle-aged and elderly people. The mortality rate of cerebral hemorrhage is also high. Among people who die from the disease each year, about 20% die from cerebral hemorrhage. Therefore, cerebral hemorrhage has seriously threatened the lives of middle-aged and elderly people. After rescue, patients with cerebral hemorrhage need to be cared for by specialized personnel to better promote their recovery. After the rescue of cerebral hemorrhage, the patient needs to rest in bed, take antihypertensive drugs, massage his head appropriately, keep his skin clean, eat a reasonable diet, etc. The care method is simple, but it requires patience and care from the caregiver. Below I will give you a detailed introduction to the care methods for patients with cerebral hemorrhage!

1. Stay in bed for two weeks

After the rescue of cerebral hemorrhage, the patient must rest in bed for 2 weeks. The head can be gently turned left and right, but cannot be raised. The limbs should move slightly every 2 hours to improve blood circulation. The patient cannot get out of bed to urinate or defecate on his own to avoid another cerebral hemorrhage.

2. Taking antihypertensive drugs

The main cause of cerebral hemorrhage is high blood pressure and arteriosclerosis caused by high blood pressure, so you must strictly follow the doctor's instructions to take antihypertensive drugs on time and in the right amount to prevent blood pressure fluctuations from aggravating the condition.

3. Reduce visitation

Patients with cerebral hemorrhage need a quiet and comfortable environment, so it is best to visit the patient less often within 2 weeks of onset. This will allow the patient to maintain a stable and calm mood and avoid further bleeding.

4. Massage your head

Patients will experience headaches during the course of cerebral hemorrhage. The pain varies from person to person and may manifest as swelling, tingling, severe pain, etc. Headache is the most common symptom in the early stages of cerebral hemorrhage. Don't be nervous. You can massage the patient's head appropriately to relieve the pain.

5. Keep your skin dry and clean

Bed rest for a long time can easily lead to bedsores, so patients with cerebral hemorrhage should be given more massage on the pressure points and their skin should be kept dry and clean. Especially for the elderly, long-term bed rest is prone to lung infection, so they should be turned over and patted on the back more often to help them cough up phlegm.

6. Eat a healthy diet

Reasonable dietary conditioning can help cure cerebral hemorrhage. When caring for patients with cerebral hemorrhage, you can give them natural anticoagulant and passive lipid foods, foods rich in arginine and other kidney-tonifying and essence-replenishing foods, and foods rich in folic acid. Pay attention to eating small meals frequently, eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, and drinking more boiled water.
