Question
A child has been in a coma for two days due to cerebral hemorrhage caused by K1 deficiency. The child’s head circumference is 2.7 centimeters smaller than the normal value, and there is a history of K1 deficiency cerebral hemorrhage. After three sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and brain cell promoting drug treatment, the child is still receiving treatment in the hospital. How should this type of cerebral hemorrhage be handled, as well as the prevention and treatment of complications?
Answer
The treatment for K1 deficiency cerebral hemorrhage primarily relies on managing the complications. With timely treatment, complications may be minimal, or even non-existent. Nowadays, most hospitals administer vitamin K to newborns to prevent cerebral hemorrhage. Once bleeding occurs, treatment options are limited and must follow standard treatment protocols for cerebral hemorrhage. After the condition stabilizes, detailed neurological reflex tests should be conducted, and an individualized treatment plan should be formulated based on the child’s functional development. Such treatments are effective quickly and significantly.
