For patients with shortness of breath caused by cerebral infarction, the condition can be improved through symptomatic treatment, drug treatment and surgery. 1. Symptomatic treatment: If the patient is bedridden for a long time, choking on drinking water and difficulty in swallowing, inhalation pneumonia may be excluded, and anti-inflammatory treatment should be given with antibiotics and sputum drainage should be strengthened at the same time after diagnosis is confirmed by perfect auxiliary examination. For patients with shortness of breath caused by cerebral infarction, the airway should be kept open, and foreign objects should be cleared, and the patients should be kept in semirecumbent position to facilitate respiration, and nasal catheter or mask should be used to give oxygen to alleviate the symptoms, and when respiratory failure is caused, tracheal intubation can be given to carry out mechanical ventilation. 2. Drug therapy: patients with cerebral infarction can use thrombolytic drugs, such as reteplase, etc.; antiplatelet aggregation drugs, such as clopidogrel, aspirin, etc.; fiber-reducing drugs, such as bacitracin, ankylase, etc.; neuroprotective agents, such as edaravone, piracetam, etc. to treat cerebral infarction and thus alleviate the situation of shortness of breath. 3. Surgical treatment: for patients with cerebral infarction whose conservative treatment is ineffective or whose condition is more serious, surgical treatment can also be carried out through craniotomy and partial cerebral tissue resection, etc., which can increase intracranial compensatory space, reduce intracranial pressure, and alleviate the pressure on the respiratory and heartbeat centers of the brainstem, so as to improve the condition. Shortness of breath caused by cerebral infarction, the condition changes quickly, it is recommended that the patient timely hospital consultation, strictly follow the doctor’s prescription medication, and actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment.
