Patient's question:
A brain herniation has caused the cessation of breathing. How is it treated? My brother has also experienced cessation of breathing due to this reason. How can it be relieved? What is the best way to relieve it? Is it necessary to treat cessation of breathing? If cessation of breathing occurs, is there no treatment for this condition? Are there any methods that can alleviate it?Doctor's answer:
First, brain herniation leads to cessation of breathing. Generally, this is due to excessively high intracranial pressure, causing the displacement of local brain tissue, forming a brain herniation. When breathing ceases again, it is usually because the brainstem is compressed. The brainstem is the vital center of the body. When problems arise, they usually occur suddenly and the relief time is very short, so there is basically no way to alleviate them.
