Application Effect of Early Rehabilitation Nursing in Elderly Cerebral Infarction Patients with Dysphagia

Objective: To observe the application effect of early rehabilitation nursing in elderly cerebral infarction patients with dysphagia. Methods: 120 cases of elderly cerebral infarction patients with dysphagia were divided into 60 cases in the control group and 60 cases in the observation group by the double-blind method, and conventional nursing and early rehabilitation nursing were implemented respectively. Swallowing function, quality of life, adverse events, and nursing satisfaction were compared before and after nursing care. Results: After nursing, the swallowing function score of the observation group (1.01 ± 0.18 points) was lower than that of the control group, and the quality of life score (160.63 ± 9.95 points) was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05); the incidence rates of aspiration and aspiration pneumonia in the observation group (5.00% and 3.33%) were lower than that of the control group (P < 0.05); the total nursing satisfaction of the observation group (98.33%) was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Early rehabilitation nursing can reduce the degree of dysphagia in elderly patients with cerebral infarction, reduce the incidents of aspiration and aspiration pneumonia, and improve the quality of life, with high nursing satisfaction.
