Research progress on artificial assisted cough in the rehabilitation treatment of cough in brainstem stroke
Objective To study the therapeutic effect and mechanism of artificial assisted cough technology on cough dysfunction in brainstem stroke patients,and provide reference for optimizing cough rehabilitation treatment plans for brainstem stroke patients.Methods Retrieve relevant literature on the effects of artificial cough on cough function and cardiopulmonary function in stroke pa-tients through databases such as CNKI,Wanfang Data,PubMed and Proquest.Results After a brainstem stroke,the brainstem neu-ral network is prone to damage.If it involves the regional nuclei that control the respiratory center,such as the reticular structure of pons and medulla oblongata,nucleus ambiguus,and solitary tract nucleus,the output signal of the respiratory center in the brain is weakened,and the cough reflex pathway may be affected,leading to cough dysfunction.Conclusion It is crucial for clinical medical technicians to master the relevant knowledge of cough dysfunction,help patients re-establish cough reflex,improve or restore cough function,and predict the prognosis of stroke related pneumonia caused by weakened cough reflex after brainstem stroke.Taking active and effective rehabilitation interventions to improve cough dysfunction after brainstem stroke has clinical significance.
