Abstract
Objective To explore the effect of targeted assessment and intervention in acute stroke patients with dysphagia.Methods 101 cases of patients were randomly divided into two groups, the experimental group (n=51) and the control group (n=50). The control group was given conventional nursing. The experimental group was given improved swallowing test procedure, including assessment of swallowing function, water swallowing test and puree test. Therapy effect, occurrence of aspiration pneumonia and cases of gastric tube requirement were compared between the two groups.Results Compared with the control group, the swallowing capability of experimental group was improved(Z=4.433,P<0.01), and occurrence of aspiration pneumonia(χ2=5.156,P<0.05), cases of gastric tube requirement and duration of gastric tube retention was lowered(t=56.877,P<0.01). The differences were statistically significant.Conclusions Targeted assessment and intervention in acute stroke patients is superior to the conventional method.
