Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! My father has been experiencing dizziness for over a month, accompanied by bilateral head faintness. The CT results indicate a high risk of lacunar cerebral infarction. After two weeks of intravenous infusion (Naoxuetong), the head faintness disappeared, but the dizziness persisted. The patient usually has high blood sugar and takes Acarbose. What further treatment is needed, and what should be paid attention to in future life?Doctor's answer:
Lacunar infarction is a special type of cerebrovascular disease caused by persistent hypertension and small artery. It is a microinfarction resulting from poor blood supply to the small arteries in the deep brain. In the late stage, the microinfarction foci soften, and the purulent union is completely cleared, leaving small cavities, hence the name. The nursing care for patients with lumbar disc herniation includes the following key points: During the acute phase, they should sleep on a hard board and stay in bed absolutely for 3 weeks. 2. Prevent coughing and hiccups to avoid constipation. 3. After the symptoms significantly improve, back muscle exercises can be gradually implemented, and light activities can be done under the support of a lumbar corset.
