Summary | Coma after a cerebral hemorrhage

Summary

In summary, a cerebral hemorrhage with accompanying coma is to be classified as a very serious disease. Coma is a symptom of the disease and is an important prognostic factor of the clinical picture. When a coma occurs, it usually represents damage to the cells within the brain.

This can be both temporary and permanent. Thus, a coma can only exist for a short period of time, but can also last for a long time and even lead to death. Important therapeutic measures in the treatment of cerebral hemorrhage associated with coma are the maintenance of vital functions by artificial respiration and the supply of fluid as well as the control of pressure within the brain. In individual cases, surgery can help to control the cerebral hemorrhage.
