Objective To explore the causes of aspiration in patients with swallowing disorders after cerebral infarction and develop targeted nursing intervention strategies. Methods This study selected 90 patients with swallowing disorders after cerebral infarction admitted to our hospital as research subjects. Based on the detection results of television fluorescence swallowing test (VFSS), they were divided into aspiration group and non aspiration group, and in-depth analysis was conducted on the causes of aspiration in patients. Result Out of 90 patients, 35 experienced aspiration, of which 22 had occult aspiration. Delayed initiation of laryngeal elevation, insufficient amplitude of laryngeal elevation, slow velocity of laryngeal elevation, abnormal opening of the cricopharyngeal muscle, and retention of the piriform fossa are significantly associated with aspiration in patients (P<0.05). Conclusion Patients with swallowing disorders after cerebral infarction have a higher incidence of aspiration. Nursing staff need to develop and implement scientific and effective nursing interventions based on the risk factors related to aspiration to promote the patients recovery process.
