Question

Patient inquiries about controlling seizures triggered by carbon monoxide poisoning.

Answer

Seizures caused by carbon monoxide poisoning are a form of delayed cerebral disease. The pathogenesis is due to the prolonged ischemia of the original affected neurons leading to vasodilation and delayed sympathetic nervous system excitation, resulting in autonomic nervous system dysfunction and intermittent convulsions. Whether or not the condition can be controlled depends on the analysis of the medical records to determine effective treatment strategies. Otherwise, this disease is prone to more severe neuronal atrophy, which can lead to dementia and paralysis, and during acute attacks, other factors can pose a risk to life. The treatment plan involves a combination of traditional and Western medicine to enhance the microcirculation of the affected neural region and promote blood flow, soften scar tissue, and regulate nerves, which is conducive to the regeneration and repair of the lesion. At the same time, stimulating paralyzed nerves can promote nerve regeneration and repair, leading to the best recovery of various functions. The key to recovery lies in early treatment.
