How long does a cerebral hemorrhage stay in the ICU

Patients with cerebral hemorrhage need to be observed for about 2 weeks, and then depending on their pathological changes, how long they need to stay in the intensive care unit will be decided. Cerebral hemorrhage is actually brain bleeding, which is classified into different kinds of cerebral hemorrhage based on the location of the bleeding and how much it bleeds, as well as the possible causes of the bleeding. For example, hypertensive brain hemorrhage, which tends to occur in the basal ganglia, is generally more lax and may bleed more. If the amount of bleeding is very large in a short period of time, and the patient becomes comatose, or even develops brain herniation at an early stage, this kind of patient is relatively very serious, and may not be able to survive even the most dangerous period of time. The first priority is to save life, and only when life is maintained can we consider how long the patient needs to stay in the ICU at a later stage. Early patients with cerebral hemorrhage about 1 week, or even between 1-2 weeks, is to enter the peak of cerebral edema. Only after the patient can pass the peak of cerebral edema smoothly, the occurrence of cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral hemorrhage followed by cerebral ischemia, both cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction, is usually easy to recur within 2 weeks. Only after these problems have passed smoothly, if the patient does not wake up after 2 weeks of coma, then tracheotomy is done, and the patient is maintained on a ventilator, and finally after being taken off the ventilator, the patient can be considered to be transferred out of the ICU after 3-5 days of observation, and the patient doesn’t need to be on the ventilator. the duration of stay in the ICU varies from patient to patient. For a particularly severe patient, the patient may not be resuscitated within 3-5 days, so it is not possible to talk about how long the patient has to stay in the ICU. Patients who are relatively less severe may experience a change in their condition within 2 weeks or so, and the length of stay in the ICU should be determined closely based on the change in condition. At the beginning of the patient’s arrival, we will communicate with the family to make an initial judgment, and then decide on the specific situation according to the condition of the patient.
