Generally speaking, after a cerebral hemorrhage is discharged from intensive care, the patient can eat on his/her own after he/she has been anesthetized/awake and has regained his/her swallowing function.
The condition of cerebral hemorrhage is relatively more dangerous and critical, and has a high mortality and disability rate. Typical symptoms of cerebral hemorrhage in the early stage are severe headache, followed by nausea and vomiting, followed by compression due to cerebral edema, which may cause central nervous system symptoms, resulting in coma, paralysis (facial paralysis, limb paralysis, paralysis of swallowing, etc.), sensory disorders, mental disorders and other symptoms.
Discharge from the intensive care unit means that the patient has passed the dangerous period and there is no risk of life-threatening deterioration, but there may still be coma, impaired swallowing function, gastrointestinal bleeding, etc., and the patient needs to be given a nasal feeding tube or parenteral nutrition to assist in feeding, depending on the situation.
If the patient is awake and swallowing function is restored, the nasal feeding tube can be removed and the patient can start to eat on his/her own.
Cerebral hemorrhage out of intensive care need to continue to follow the doctor’s instructions standardized treatment, care, to avoid delays.
