Acute severe ischemic stroke is a life-threatening subtype of stroke. Due to stress ulcer and gastric reflux in acute stage, patients with severe ischemic stroke are always complicated with stomach bleeding and pulmonary infections, resulting in poor prognosis and even death. Reducing stomach acidity and avoiding gastric reflux play a pivotal role on controlling serious complications after austere ischemic attack. Gastrointestinal decompression is an cheap, safe, effective and acknowledgemented strategy for treating stomach bleeding and preventing gastric reflux in clinical settings. Early gastrointestinal decompression seems to be an available method to reduce stomach acidity and avoid gastric reflux after severe ischemic stroke. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of early gastrointestinal decompression in patients with acute severe ischemic stroke.
