How long a patient with cerebral infarction can live after being bedridden depends first of all on the patient’s age and the patient’s underlying disease, whether there are complications after the patient has suffered from cerebral infarction, and the care of the family. If the patient is relatively young and has no underlying diseases or complications of cerebral infarction, and the family takes good care of the patient, the patient can live up to about 20 years even after being bedridden. If the patient is old and frail, has more underlying diseases, has poor cardiopulmonary function, and has complications of cerebral infarction, such as aspiration pneumonia caused by choking on water due to difficulty in swallowing, as well as poor family care, the patient’s life may last 1-2 months, or perhaps about half a year. Therefore, depending on the patient’s condition, each patient can live for different periods of time, from 2-3 years for some patients, to 5-6 years for others, and up to 10 years for others.
