Recovery from brain herniation without spontaneous breathing cannot be generalized. If the condition is corrected within a short period of time, there is a possibility of recovery of spontaneous breathing; if it persists for a longer period of time or if the criteria for brain death have been met, it is difficult to recover. Brain herniation is a very dangerous and serious condition that can affect the body’s breathing and circulation. If breathing and circulation stop, ventilator-assisted breathing or chest compressions are required. If there is bleeding in the skull, it is important to stop the bleeding. Surgery can be performed to relieve intracranial pressure and relieve the symptoms of brain herniation. If the brain hernia is present for a short period of time and is corrected with immediate treatment, breathing may slowly return. If intracranial hemorrhage, increased intracranial pressure, and brain herniation have not improved for a long period of time, or if the criteria for brain death have been met, it is highly unlikely that the brain cells will recover again, and there is little hope of restoring breathing. Patients with brain herniation without independent breathing can save their lives through timely resuscitation, but if they stop breathing for a long period of time, they are prone to life-threatening situations. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital immediately for examination and treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
