How long do patients with cerebral hemorrhage live?

Patients with cerebral hemorrhage can be broadly classified into two cases, one is heavy bleeding as well as critical site bleeding, patients may die within minutes, even too late to be resuscitated, most of them deteriorate rapidly in the first few hours. The second chapter is non-critical site hemorrhage, patients with less bleeding, small lesions, milder symptoms, and well-absorbed hematomas may survive for a long time, and some patients recover better or even return to full normalcy. Overall the 30-day mortality rate for supratentorial (mainly including the brain) hemorrhage is 58%, for infratentorial (mainly including the cerebellum) hemorrhage it is 31%, and for subarachnoid hemorrhage it is 45%-60%. Therefore, the survival time of hemorrhage depends mainly on the location and size of the hematoma, followed by the patient’s age, the cause of the hemorrhage, and the occurrence and severity of post-hemorrhage complications, such as hydrocephalus, elevated intracranial pressure, pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, and myocardial infarction. In conclusion, the symptoms of cerebral hemorrhage improve later than cerebral infarction, and the speed and degree of recovery of surviving patients vary from person to person, and rehabilitation should be initiated when the patient’s condition is stabilized.
