Can I drink fish soup with brainstem hemorrhage?
The patient experienced a brainstem hemorrhage, and if the bleeding is extensive, it's possible that the patient could be in a deep coma. In more severe cases, brain death could occur, where the patient would not be able to breathe on their own. Since the pathology mainly occurs in the brain, when the patient is in a coma, they are certainly not able to eat by themselves. At this time, feeding usually involves the insertion of a tube through the nose down to the stomach, called a nasogastric tube. Through this tube, food is delivered directly to the stomach, allowing for gastrointestinal nutrition. Commonly, the gastrointestinal function of such patients remains normal, so it is possible to administer liquid nutrition through the nasogastric tube, such as nutrient solutions or fish soup, without any issues.
