The chances of waking up from a coma with a brain stem hemorrhage are patient-specific and cannot be generalized. There is a relatively high incidence of awakening from small bridge and midbrain hemorrhages, a low incidence of awakening from medullary hemorrhages, and a high incidence of death from large hemorrhages.
Brain stem hemorrhage includes pontine hemorrhage, midbrain hemorrhage and medulla oblongata hemorrhage, with the latter two having a low incidence.
1. When the amount of pontine hemorrhage is small, the patient can be awake again through active treatment. However, if the amount of hemorrhage is more than 5ml, the patient may have rapid coma, central hyperthermia, and de-cerebralization, etc., and may die in a short period of time with a low rate of wakefulness.
2. Middle cerebral hemorrhage is less common, often with coma, headache, vomiting, ipsilateral ataxia and other symptoms, through timely treatment, there is a chance to wake up. Severe patients often show severe coma and may die in a short time.
3. Medullary hemorrhage: Coma often affects the vital signs of the patients, and then leads to death, with a low wakefulness rate.
When the patient has brain stem hemorrhage and becomes unconscious, he should seek medical treatment in time and under the guidance of the doctor, so as to avoid delaying the condition.
