For elderly people whose children are not by their side, I'd like to ask: how can one perform self-rescue during a sudden cerebral hemorrhage?

After a cerebral hemorrhage, if the patient's neurological status and consciousness are normal, they should promptly go to the hospital for medical assistance. If the condition is severe, with significant bleeding or loss of consciousness, family members nearby should lay the patient flat in an open area while ensuring the airway remains clear. Avoid moving the patient unnecessarily to prevent worsening of the condition, and seek emergency help immediately. Hypertensive patients are advised to control their blood pressure regularly in daily life, avoid spicy, stimulating, and greasy foods in their diet, and reduce the risk of cerebral arteriosclerosis. Maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid staying up late, engage in appropriate physical exercise, and strengthen overall health.
