Patient's question:
Doctor, my brother is now 38 years old, male. He had an accident on the road a few days ago and was taken to the hospital for treatment. Now he has experienced another episode of unconsciousness. Will he regain consciousness with hepatic encephalopathy?Doctor's answer:
In the current situation, it should be considered that the symptoms of fainting may have reappeared after trauma. This is likely due to damage to the brainstem. It is important to actively implement treatment. If the person is still unconscious, it should be considered that the mental trauma is severe, which may pose a risk to life. In this case, it is necessary to pay attention to enhancing care. Later, the condition may worsen due to malnutrition, lung infections, and other factors.
