Patient's question:
My father fainted at home at the beginning of this year and was sent to the hospital. After treatment, he recovered and was discharged. The doctor said it was a cerebral infarction. He stayed in the hospital for a period of time and then left. Now he is recovering at home and is doing very well. I would like to ask, what are the common nursing issues for cerebral infarction?Doctor's answer:
Patients with cerebral infarction need to strictly quit smoking and drinking, and adjust unhealthy lifestyle and dietary habits in daily life. Otherwise, patients may experience multiple recurrent episodes. For patients with cerebral infarction, it is necessary to use drugs to control blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood lipid levels for treatment. When necessary, thrombolysis, surgical treatment, and the use of neuroprotective agents can be employed.
