New research indicates that stroke due to a brain hemorrhage can be more effectively treated through a combination of different treatments.
Brain hemorrhaging, also known as intracranial hemorrhage, is a critical condition with potentially life-threatening consequences. It occurs when blood vessels in the brain rupture, leading to bleeding within the skull.
Brain hemorrhaging can cause severe neurological deficits. The sudden increase in pressure within the skull can compress vital brain structures, leading to cognitive impairment, paralysis, speech difficulty, and loss of sensation. For some, it can result in permanent disability or even death.
Brain hemorrhages often occur spontaneously or due to trauma, making them unpredictable. Although they can have similar symptoms to a stroke, strokes can occur because of underlying cardiovascular disease and can often be prevented if treatment is available. Brain hemorrhaging can happen without warning, making early detection and treatment tough. Delayed medical intervention increases the risk of irreversible brain damage and reduces the chances of a successful recovery. Getting medical help immediately can significantly improve the chances of a positive outcome.
The new combination of treatments centers around controlling blood pressure. The researchers behind this called it a Care Bundle and believe that it can help to significantly reduce the risk of permanent disability after a brain hemorrhage occurs.
This research came out of the George Institute for Global Health. They published their findings in the medical journal, The Lancet. It is likely to prove to be very helpful research on the topic of brain hemorrhage and has the potential to save thousands of lives each year. Hopefully, this is just a starting point when it comes to improving the lives of those impacted by this serious medical emergency.
A brain hemorrhage can lead to death in just a few hours if they are serious. This leaves only a small window of opportunity for doctors to identify and treat the issue, even if treatment methods were to improve to the point where it was no longer considered to be as serious as it currently is. Early identification is a key component for success when it comes to a variety of health issues, both serious and not-so serious.
This is why it’s so important to have a professional on your side that has this training. A medical background can be helpful, but the individual doesn’t necessarily need to be a doctor or a skilled nurse. A caregiver who has been trained in recognizing health issues that impact seniors can also be a helpful individual to have on your side.
We’d be happy to talk more about senior care and how it might benefit your family. Whatever your older loved ones might be dealing with, there’s likely a care solution out there that can help to resolve it.
Feel free to give us a call today to schedule your free consultation. Whether it’s a disability from hemorrhaging or stroke or something else, having the right care can make it a lot easier. One of our caregivers will be happy to talk you through senior care and how it can help.
