For brainstem hemorrhages that have already occurred, the patient should be immediately taken to a local hospital. Initially, a cranial CT scan should be performed to determine the location and amount of bleeding in the brainstem. For minor brainstem hemorrhages, it is recommended to first use medication for treatment. This involves administering drugs that stop bleeding, enhance brain function, promote dehydration, and nourish the nerves, aiding in the gradual cessation of bleeding and the absorption of cerebral hematomas. Most patients can achieve very good treatment outcomes. However, if the brainstem hemorrhage is extensive, it often leads to severe brainstem dysfunction and typically has a poor prognosis.
