Dietary Precautions for Brainstem Hemorrhage
For patients with brainstem hemorrhage, attention should be given to their diet. During the acute phase, it is advisable to choose a liquid diet, as most patients with brainstem hemorrhage often have severe swallowing dysfunction. Failing to choose a liquid diet can lead to aspiration, which in turn causes aspiration pneumonia. Furthermore, patients should avoid certain foods for a short period, particularly greasy or spicy foods, as most patients experience significant reductions in digestive function during the acute phase. If dietary intake is not carefully managed, patients often experience significant abdominal pain and diarrhea. Once the patient's condition stabilizes, it is appropriate to include fresh vegetables and fruits in their diet.
