Spread scientific ideas and promote scientific spirit The 2024 Hainan Province Science Popularization Explanation Competition came to a successful conclusion a few days ago. "Science Popularization Hainan" broadcast the speeches of the contestants who entered the finals to spread the voice of science popularization more widely. Today, let us follow Wang Peng from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University to learn about "Health Killer - Cerebral Hemorrhage". Pay attention to health, cherish life, hello everyone, welcome to the health lecture hall. Today we are going to talk about a "health killer" - cerebral hemorrhage. I believe everyone is familiar with this disease. So why does cerebral hemorrhage occur? The main reason is high blood pressure . When blood pressure reaches a certain level, it will cause blood vessels in the brain to rupture and cause cerebral hemorrhage. Cerebral hemorrhage has a high mortality rate and a high disability rate . In recent years, we have found that the number of young patients is increasing. Among all cerebral hemorrhages, there is one type that is even worse than this one, with a mortality rate of over 90% , and that is brain stem hemorrhage. Most of these patients were already in a coma and had difficulty breathing when they were admitted to the hospital. They needed a ventilator to maintain their health, and there were more and more young patients. So why is brainstem hemorrhage so serious? This is related to the location of the brainstem. Let's take a look at this model of the brain. Where is the brainstem? The brainstem is at the very center of the brain. It can be said that all the instructions of our brain are transmitted downward through the brainstem, including walking, drinking water, etc. Most brainstem hemorrhages are located in its center, which is about the size of a sour orange. If there is bleeding in this location, the condition is very serious. With the development of medical technology, we now have high-definition microscopes, neuronavigation and surgical robots, which can complete complex brainstem hemorrhage surgery. In addition, we also have better wards, our international medical center, where the environment and medical level are first-class. Although medicine is constantly developing, the mortality rate of brainstem hemorrhage is still very high. Therefore, the prevention of the disease is far greater than its treatment . How to prevent it? First, we need to control blood pressure . Here is a seven-word mantra for everyone: take medicine if you have no symptoms, do not follow your feelings when taking medicine, hearsay is harmful, increase the dosage with caution, discontinuation of medication has serious consequences, and do not trust health products. Second, we must quit smoking and drinking . If blood pressure is not well controlled, a glass of wine or a cigarette can turn into 10 ml of blood in this tube, and this 10 ml of blood is close to a lethal dose for our brain stem. Third, don't stay up late . Young people often say, "I stay up late for freedom." Sometimes, what you stay up late for may not be freedom, but the ICU. So from now on, let's maintain good living habits and protect our health. Source: Hainan Province Science Popularization Explanation Competition 2024.
