Cerebral infarction is a huge blow to many patients’ families when it appears, because the patient will bring very serious harm to the family in life and economically, especially some middle-aged and elderly patients, to pay attention to their emotions and keep a happy mood is very important, so what are the vulnerable people of cerebral infarction?
Cerebral infarction is a cerebrovascular disease caused by cerebral artery atherosclerosis, intimal damage to narrow the lumen of cerebral arteries, and then local thrombosis due to a variety of factors, which aggravates the narrowing of arteries or completely occludes them, resulting in ischemia, hypoxia and necrosis of brain tissue and causing neurological dysfunction.
The main factors of cerebral infarction are: hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus, overweight, hyperlipidemia, fatty meat, and many patients have family history. It is mostly seen in middle-aged and elderly people aged 45 to 70.
The susceptible group of cerebral infarction?
1.High age.
2.People with a family history of cerebral infarction.
3, patients with hypertension and certain hypotension.
4.Patients with diabetes and obesity.
5.Patients with cerebral arteriosclerosis.
6, polycythemic people (people with increased red blood cells and increased red blood cell ratio).
7, low fibrinolytic state (refers to the decline in the function of their own thrombus dissolution).
8, hyperviscosity (refers to patients with increased blood viscosity caused by fibrinogen, lipids, increased red blood cells, hypercoagulation, etc.).
9, heavy smokers (more than 10 cigarettes per day for more than 10 years).
10, pre-thrombotic state (broadly defined as having had a transient cerebral ischemic attack or angina attack, etc.).
What complications can be caused by cerebral infarction?
1. Pulmonary infection is the most common complication in patients with cerebral infarction: there are many studies that show that pulmonary infection becomes the most important lethal factor of cerebral infarction. Pulmonary infection in patients with cerebral infarction is generally related to the following factors patients are bedridden for a long time, resulting in sedimentary pneumonia, therefore, in the nursing work, advocate diligent turning and aspiration. Inappropriate care, causing the patient to choke on water or food and cough, resulting in play-entering pneumonia. Inappropriate use of antibiotics in patients, resulting in dysbiosis, coupled with the fact that patients are mostly elderly and have poor resistance, also increases susceptibility factors.
2, myocardial infarction is a common complication of cerebral infarction: the pathogenesis is unknown, and some studies have shown that many patients with cerebral infarction, in the acute phase, are often accompanied by the manifestation of myocardial ischemia, but this change can be changed in most patients after passing the acute phase, and some patients, may develop into myocardial infarction. Therefore, for patients with cerebral infarction, we should conduct routine ECG examination, and if myocardial infarction is found, a simultaneous treatment plan should be taken corresponding to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular conditions.
3, urinary tract infection: seen in patients with indwelling catheters, or urinary and fecal incontinence, patients who do not receive good care, commonly used to treat bacterial urinary tract infections have a rapid onset of Western antibiotics, and safe and reliable.
4, renal insufficiency: is also an important complication that causes the death of patients, mainly related to the following factors: cerebral infarction is a “stress” state, the body’s high adrenaline levels, easily caused by renal artery constriction, affecting renal blood flow. Many drugs such as mannitol and antibiotics can also affect renal function to varying degrees.
The article not only introduces patients to the susceptible groups of cerebral infarcts, but also introduces patients to the causes of cerebral infarcts, so that patients can better understand the disease, and when cerebral infarcts are found, they should be treated and treated in a timely manner, so that they can gradually recover from the disease!
