What are the things to pay attention to when caring for elderly people with hemiplegia due to cerebral infarction?

Cerebral infarction is called brain blockage. It is a sudden onset caused by cerebral ischemia. It can cause the patient to fall to the ground and need emergency treatment in the hospital. Cerebral infarction will make the patient feel very painful because it can cause dysfunction of the limbs and affect the intelligence of the brain. The most serious ones can cause hemiplegia. Patients with cerebral infarction should pay attention to details in nursing and make adjustments to the patient's psychological life and diet and daily life.

What are the precautions for rehabilitation nursing of hemiplegia caused by cerebral infarction?

One of the details to pay attention to in cerebral infarction care is: communicate with patients on a daily basis, encourage patients to face the disease with a positive attitude; give patients confidence in how to deal with their lives. Actively cooperate with your doctor's advice and treatment. In terms of diet, patients need to be given low-salt, high-protein, light and easily digestible food. Eating and drinking activities were not prohibited during the coma period. After 48 hours the patient was given some liquid food. During the acute period, you should learn to lie flat without a pillow, and after the condition stabilizes, you should perform simple limb training activities early. Work with patients and their families to develop rehabilitation plans for patients, give them more massages and auxiliary exercises, and gradually increase the amount of activity. Patients are encouraged to take the initiative in activities and continue to maintain limb recovery and development. Aphasic patients need to maintain language training.

The second detail to pay attention to in cerebral infarction care: keep the patient's clothes and living environment clean; keep the mouth clean, and turn the patient over and pat his back regularly. Observe the patient's mental expression at all times. If there is impaired consciousness or the condition worsens, notify the doctor in time. When taking medication, pay attention to whether the patient's physical constitution is allergic, and pay attention to the patient's blood pressure changes caused by vasodilation; keep the patient's emotions stable and avoid mental stress and stimulation. Do not smoke or drink, maintain regular bowel movements every day; actively prevent the onset of other diseases, maintain a regular diet and daily routine, and avoid excessive fatigue.

The third detail to pay attention to in nursing care for cerebral infarction: When caring for patients with crooked mouth corners, it is necessary to give patients spiritual help and gain their trust. Encourage patients to build self-confidence and have a positive attitude to overcome the disease. Massage the patient's eyes, mouth, and face more often, and encourage local massage frequently. Pay attention to the prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal bleeding. If the patient's consciousness disorder worsens, body temperature rises, hiccups frequently occur, and gastric juice flows out of the corners of the mouth, attention and treatment are required.

In addition to the above three points of attention, patients recovering from hemiplegia due to cerebral infarction also need to pay attention to adhering to medication. I believe most people know that the patency of microvessels is directly related to the treatment effect of cerebral infarction. Therefore, protecting the brain microvessels and allowing blood to be transported to the ischemic brain tissue as soon as possible is the key to preventing and treating the sequelae of cerebral infarction. In recent years, Tongxinluo Capsule, a traditional Chinese medicine for clearing the meridians developed under the guidance of the theory of network disease, has shown great advantages in protecting microvessels. The drug can ensure the structural integrity of the microvessels by prolonging the survival time of microvascular endothelial cells in ischemic and hypoxic environments, maintain normal blood flow pathways in the brain, and enable them to continue to supply nutrients to brain cells, allowing patients to recover faster. A large number of domestic research results have shown that Tongxinluo Capsule can significantly protect the integrity of microvascular structure and function after ischemia-reperfusion of cerebral infarction, and has a definite effect on the recovery period of cerebral infarction. Meta-analysis shows that Tongxinluo Capsule can reduce the risk of ineffective treatment of cerebral infarction by 70%.

Establish collateral circulation and improve patient symptoms

Each area of ​​the brain is responsible for different functions. Some patients with cerebral infarction have blocked and necrotic microvessels, which cannot be unblocked, affecting the blood supply to the brain areas responsible for movement, cognition, emotional regulation, etc., causing patients to have sequelae such as hemiplegia, language impairment, dementia and even depression. Therefore, if there is a way to promote angiogenesis in the ischemic area, establish new blood flow pathways for it, restore blood supply to this area, and reduce the area of ​​brain tissue necrosis, it will be able to correspondingly improve the patient's various physical and cognitive functions such as movement, cognition, and emotion, thereby improving the patient's symptoms and improving their quality of life.

Clinical studies by medical experts at home and abroad have found that Tongxinluo Capsule can significantly promote the proliferation, migration and adhesion of peripheral blood endothelial progenitor cells, and promote the regeneration of microvessels in the ischemic area after cerebral infarction by enhancing the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor, establish collateral circulation, and significantly improve the blood supply to the ischemic area of ​​the brain in patients with cerebral infarction. Meta-analysis shows that it can significantly improve the efficacy of cerebral infarction, significantly improve the degree of neurological deficits in patients, promote neurological function recovery, and eliminate symptoms such as chest tightness, chest pain, shortness of breath and fatigue, hemiplegia, speech impairment, limb numbness, and depression, which can fundamentally improve the quality of life of patients with cerebral infarction.
