Patient information:Age: 60 Sex: Male Ensure the blood supply to the brain and avoid insufficient blood supply.
After gastrointestinal bleeding, the blood pressure in the patient’s body will decrease, causing insufficient blood supply to the brain. Lying flat can promote blood circulation in the brain, but the head must be on its side to prevent vomiting and suffocation, which can endanger life . Gastrointestinal bleeding may be caused by polyps in the body, or it may be related to peptic ulcers.
During treatment, patients with gastrointestinal bleeding should avoid a lot of long-term smoking and drinking, maintain a good mental state, establish confidence in fighting the disease, and pay close attention to life weight, such as blood pressure, heart rate and breathing.
