What to do when a brain hemorrhage is complicated by a brain hernia

Cerebral hemorrhage and brain hernia can be treated with general treatment, drug treatment and surgery.
1. General treatment: For patients with cerebral hernia who have respiratory difficulties, breathing should be assisted by respirator immediately, while the head of the bed is elevated by 30 degrees to facilitate venous return. Avoid sputum aspiration, so as not to cough to stimulate further increase in intracranial pressure.
2. Drug treatment: If the patient does not have liver insufficiency, he can follow the doctor’s instructions to use mannitol solution, furosemide tablets, human albumin solution and other drugs for treatment, in order to reduce brain edema.
3. Surgery: If the drugs cannot control the disease, surgery can be chosen. Surgery should focus on treating the primary disease, such as targeting the removal of intracranial hematoma or resection of brain tumors, and cerebrospinal fluid drainage can be carried out.
The prognosis of cerebral hernia is usually poor, so attention should be paid to how to avoid the occurrence of cerebral hernia, such as actively lowering the intracranial pressure to avoid the formation of cerebral hernia. It is recommended that patients with cerebral hemorrhage complicated by cerebral herniation should seek timely medical treatment and be actively treated under the guidance of doctors.
