Keys to care for patients with brain disorders

  Whether it is cerebral infarction or cerebral hemorrhage, especially those with massive injury, often accompanied by unconsciousness, poor response, and limb paralysis, etc. In addition to the conventional treatment given by specialists, the care of such patients during the acute phase is a major key. These patients often have difficulty coughing, coughing, choking, phlegm in the throat, and even fever with pneumonia within a few days after the onset of the disease, all because of brain function impairment leading to swallowing and coughing dysfunction, especially lying down, which can easily cause food choking into the trachea or food reflux in the stomach accidentally inhaled into the trachea, and finally pneumonia. Therefore, it is best for such patients to raise the head of the bed about 45 degrees, rest on their sides, and those who cannot eat should preferably go down the gastric tube and ask a professional nurse to guide the turning and patting of the back to aspirate sputum, which can minimize the chance of pneumonia.
