What are the sequelae of cerebral edema?

Patient's question:

In November 2007, due to prolonged work at high altitude, he suffered from cerebral edema.

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: General conventional treatment approaches from two aspects. First, strictly control factors that can exacerbate cerebral edema. 1) Limit fluid intake (2) Control blood pressure (3) Maintain arterial oxygen partial pressure above 13.3 kPa (100 mmHg) and carbon dioxide partial pressure below 5.3 kPa (40 mmHg). (4) Control body temperature within 32–37℃ (5) Correct acidosis and regulate electrolyte disorders. Suggestions: Second, reduce intracranial pressure. Mainly target the cause, combined with comprehensive drug treatment, including oral and intravenous administration. Hospitalization is required.
