| Objective: To compare the effect of respiratory function training and routine treatment on removing trachea cannula of stroke patients after tracheotomy. Methods: Eighty patients with early stroke after tracheotomy meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were collected and randomly divided into experimental group (n=40) and control group (n=40). The experimental group was treated with respiratory function training and routine treatment, while the control group was treated with the routine treatment alone. The rehabilitation effect between experimental group and control group was compared and analyzed through the assessment of respiratory muscle strength, finger-pulse oxygen saturation, pulmonary infection, retention time of trachea cannula, expiratory volume, inspiratory volume, and treatment costs. Results: Endotracheal intubation time of experimental group was obviously shorter than the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the finger-pulse oxygen saturation, expiratory volume and inspiratory volume, respiratory muscle strength greater than level 4 (including level 4) of two groups were significantly higher than before, and the above indexes in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). The pulmonary infection of two groups was milder than before treatment (P<0.05), and the pulmonary infection in the experimental group was deeper than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Respiratory function training applied to patients with early stroke after tracheotomy can significantly shorten the retention time of trachea cannula safely and effectively. |
