The length of life for brainstem hemorrhage cannot be generalized, but is mainly related to individual patient factors and the amount of hemorrhage, and should be analyzed on a problem-specific basis. Usually, if the bleeding is small, it does not affect the life expectancy of the patient. However, the brainstem is the center of life, and a small amount of bleeding can lead to coma, hemiparesis, and other major sequelae. A brainstem hemorrhage of more than 10 ml can be life-threatening, and long-term survival is possible even if the patient can survive the two-week danger period. If a patient has a hemorrhage in the medulla oblongata, he or she will usually die in 1-2 days or about 1 week, depending on the individual. In addition, patients are advised to take more rest and avoid excessive emotional ups and downs, and they should not get out of bed during the acute phase.
