Patient's question:
My uncle came to our house yesterday. When he was at home, he suddenly fainted. Then, after the doctor conducted a thorough examination, it was determined that he had hydrocephalus, cerebral edema, and encephalopathy, requiring immediate surgery for treatment. The family was unaware of how to solve the problem. How severe is hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy?Doctor's answer:
A 65-year-old patient is diagnosed with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, which is very serious. If the condition is not treated promptly, it can be life-threatening. Sudden fainting indicates that the symptoms have worsened, and it is necessary to undergo surgery immediately to resolve the issue. If the condition worsens further, the value of surgery will be lost. The patient's recurrence of this disease is due to certain underlying reasons, which may be related to poor working conditions and excessive fatigue.
