Progress of Respiratory Dysfunction and Rehabilitation Treatment on Stroke Patients

Stroke obviously affects the respiratory function of patients, resulting in poor prognosis of patients. Respiratory dysfunction in stroke is manifested as reduced lung function, weakened respiratory muscle strength, respiratory rhythm disturbance, and lung infection. The pathogenesis includes direct damage of primary disease, superimposed damage of complications and iatrogenic aggravated damage. Effective pulmonary rehabilitation measures can significantly improve the respiratory function of patients, and the main rehabilitation measures include respiratory muscle training, airway clearance and diaphragm pacing.
