Subarachnoid hemorrhage nausea and vomiting how to treat
Patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage experiencing nausea and vomiting can still be treated. Firstly, symptomatic treatment should be conducted, which can include using gastric mucosal protectants and antiemetic medications to effectively alleviate symptoms. Additionally, subarachnoid hemorrhage, nausea, and vomiting are often caused by increased intracranial pressure. In such cases, using mannitol or furosemide to dehydrate can reduce intracranial pressure. Once the intracranial pressure decreases, the symptoms of nausea and vomiting can be greatly improved and alleviated. Of course, some patients may also have complications such as hydrocephalus or intracerebral hematoma. In these cases, surgical interventions like craniotomy for hematoma removal or aneurysm clipping may be necessary, which can gradually relieve and improve the symptoms of nausea and vomiting. Beyond symptomatic treatment, it is also necessary to treat the underlying primary disease, addressing causes such as aneurysms or vascular malformations.
