When is the emergency time for cerebral hemorrhage?

Cerebral hemorrhage is a disease that seriously affects the life and health of patients. It is a relatively critical disease. The onset of the disease is often rapid, which can catch family members off guard. When a patient suddenly becomes ill, the rescue time is very important. The best rescue time is within the first five minutes of the onset of the disease. For some critically ill patients, if these five minutes of rescue time are lost, it may cause more serious situations.

When is the emergency time for cerebral hemorrhage?

Generally, if the amount of bleeding in the cerebral hemisphere is ≥40 ml and the amount of bleeding in the cerebellum is ≥10 ml, it is best to perform the surgery within two hours and try not to exceed three hours. If it takes too long, it will cause cerebral edema, leading to serious damage to brain cells, greatly increasing the risk of stroke complications and sequelae, and even causing death. Accidental cerebral hemorrhage is as dangerous as sudden cardiac death, and first aid for cerebral hemorrhage is crucial in the first 5 minutes.

Those who are sent to the hospital in time, whose bleeding amount is small and whose parts are not too important generally have a better recovery, fewer complications and lighter sequelae. Those who have a large amount of bleeding and delayed treatment, even if their lives are saved, have a poor quality of life, and some even have to live in a wheelchair for the rest of their lives. There are also a few patients whose conditions are particularly critical, whose bleeding sites are important, whose bleeding is rapid, and whose bleeding amount is large. It is possible that their breathing and heartbeat have stopped by the time doctors arrive for professional treatment. Although the doctors try their best to rescue them, they cannot save them.

What to do when a brain hemorrhage occurs?

1. Stay calm and lay the patient flat immediately, and call 120 for emergency help.

2. Quickly loosen the patient's collar and belt to maintain indoor air circulation.

3. If the patient is conscious, try to comfort him/her to keep him/her calm and not too agitated. If the patient is unconscious, lay him or her flat with his or her head turned to one side so that vomit can flow out of the mouth and prevent suffocation.

4. If the patient is unconscious and snoring loudly, it means that the root of his tongue has fallen. You can wrap the patient's tongue with a handkerchief or gauze and gently pull it out.

5. If the patient has convulsions, you can use two bamboo chopsticks wrapped in soft cloth and insert them between the upper and lower teeth to prevent the tongue from being bitten.

6. If the patient collapses in a small place such as a toilet or bathhouse, move him to a spacious place as soon as possible. However, the movements should be gentle and the head should not be shaken. The head should be kept horizontal to avoid blocking the airway and causing suffocation.

8. Take ice cubes out of the refrigerator, put them in a dry towel or other bag, and place it on your forehead to cool down physically. When the body temperature drops, the blood vessels contract when exposed to cold, which can reduce the amount of bleeding, and the brain's oxygen consumption can be reduced, which is beneficial to the recovery of brain cells.
