Abstract
Background: In stroke patients with tracheotomy, reduced lung function heightens pulmonary infection risk. Body position can affect lung function; however, its impact in stroke patients with tracheostomy remains unclear.
Objective: To investigate the influence of five body positions on pulmonary function in stroke patients with tracheotomy.
Methods: Pulmonary function was assessed in five body positions (supine, supine 30°, supine 60°, sitting, and prone) in 47 stroke patients who underwent tracheotomy. Diaphragmatic excursion during quiet breathing (DEQ), diaphragmatic thickening fraction during quiet breathing (DTFQ), and diaphragmatic excursion during coughing (DEC) were measured using ultrasound. Peak cough flow (PCF) was measured using an electronic peak flow meter.
Results: Different positions had a significant impact on DEQ, DEC, and PCF in stroke patients with tracheotomy, although not on DTFQ. DEQ showed no significant differences between supine 60°, sitting, and prone positions. Both DEC and PCF reached their maximum values in the sitting position. In the sub-group analysis, DEQ in females did not show significant differences across different positions. Both males and females exhibited significantly higher PCF in the sitting compared to supine position. The lung function of obese patients was significantly better in the sitting than in the supine and supine 30° position. Regardless of the patient's level of consciousness and whether the brainstem was injured, lung function in the sitting position was significantly higher than in the supine position.
Conclusions: Body posture influences lung function in stroke patients with tracheotomy. Patients should adopt a sitting position to enhance pulmonary function.
期刊介绍：
Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation is the leading journal devoted to the study and dissemination of interdisciplinary, evidence-based, clinical information related to stroke rehabilitation. The journal’s scope covers physical medicine and rehabilitation, neurology, neurorehabilitation, neural engineering and therapeutics, neuropsychology and cognition, optimization of the rehabilitation system, robotics and biomechanics, pain management, nursing, physical therapy, cardiopulmonary fitness, mobility, occupational therapy, speech pathology and communication. There is a particular focus on stroke recovery, improving rehabilitation outcomes, quality of life, activities of daily living, motor control, family and care givers, and community issues.
The journal reviews and reports clinical practices, clinical trials, state-of-the-art concepts, and new developments in stroke research and patient care. Both primary research papers, reviews of existing literature, and invited editorials, are included. Sharply-focused, single-issue topics, and the latest in clinical research, provide in-depth knowledge.
