舒馬克滑雪意外陷入昏迷~ 希望他早日恢復!!!!!

Gary Hartstein, former F1 doctor about Schumacher's injury:

It's quite well known that extradural hematomas, a kind of cerebral hemorrhage, can leave a lucid interval after injury. Then as the hematoma forms, the sudden increase in pressure causes sudden and dramatic symptoms. Pressure must be relieved rapidly. This is done with a neurosurgical intervention. Then the victim is observed in an ICU environment.

Quality of recovery depends on: 1) severity of initial injury 2) a⋯⋯cuteness and amplitude of pressure rise when hematoma forms... 3) rapidity with which it is drained 4) quality of neuro intensive care and rehab. About the "induced coma". Lets demystify it just a bit. Any severe head injury leads to a loss of coordination of tongue and throat muscles. Happens to some when they sleep - called SNORING. But this is reapiratory obstruction and causes CO2 to rise and oxygen to fall.

But the brain wants oxygen and hates CO2. So we put tubes in these patient's tracheas and use reapirators. This protects the airway. And gives excellent control of ventilation and oxygenation. But to intubate someone, he or she needs to be pretty deeply anesthetised. So this is the usual "artificial coma". It IS a induced coma, but in fact it's like a prolonged, protective, anesthetic.
