Abstract: Objective: To search and obtain relevant evidence on the prevention and management of post-stroke aspiration pneumonia at home and abroad, and summarize the evidence. Methods: We systematically searched all evidences related to the prevention and management of post-stroke aspiration pneumonia, including clinical guidelines, expert consensus, evidence summary, systematic evaluation, randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies. Four researchers trained in systematic evidence-based knowledge evaluated the quality of the studies, selected studies that met the inclusion criteria with professional judgment, and extracted the evidence. Results: Totally 18 literature were included, including 1 guideline, 2 expert consensus, 6 systematic reviews, 1 evidence summary, and 8 original studies. The evidence related to post-stroke aspiration pneumonia was extracted and sorted into 6 aspects, a total of 30 pieces of evidence. The 6 aspects were establishment of multidisciplinary team, screening and rehabilitation training of dysphagia, aspiration prevention, drug prevention, oral hygiene, and nutritional support. Conclusion: This study summarized the best evidence for the prevention and management of post-stroke aspiration pneumonia, which is scientific and practical to a certain degree, and can provide evidence-based basis for clinical medical staff to carry out targeted evidence application.
