Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Lv Zhiqin
During the treatment process, patients with cerebral thrombosis may require intravenous administration of various medications to improve their condition and alleviate symptoms. These medications mainly include the following categories:
1. Thrombolytic agents: During the acute phase of cerebral thrombosis, patients who meet the criteria for thrombolysis can receive intravenous thrombolytic therapy. Commonly used thrombolytic agents include recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) and urokinase. These medications can dissolve blood clots and restore blood circulation.
2. Cerebrovascular improving agents: Such as Gastrodia elata injection, salvianolate, and Xuesaitong injection. These medications can improve cerebral blood circulation, increase cerebral blood flow, and help alleviate symptoms of cerebral ischemia.
3. Neurotrophic agents: Such as sodium citicoline, gangliosides, and acetylglutamine. These medications can provide nutrition to brain nerves and promote repair and regeneration of nerve cells.
4. Intracranial pressure-lowering agents: If a patient develops increased intracranial pressure, osmotic diuretics such as mannitol or glycerol fructose can be administered intravenously to reduce intracranial pressure and alleviate cerebral edema.
