Abstract: Objective  To investigate the effect of continuous nasogastric tube feeding and intermittent tube feeding on nutritional status, swallowing function and complications of stroke patients with dysphagia. 
Methods  A total of 88 patients who had dysphagia after stroke were selected as the research subjects. These subjects were randomly divided into observation group(n=44) and control group(n=44). Both groups received routine swallowing function training.On this basis, the control group was given continuous nasogastric tube feeding, while the observation group was given respiratory function training and intermittent oral to esophageal tube feeding. The clinical efficacy, nutritional status and complications of the two groups were compared. 
Results  A total of 88 patients who had dysphagia after stroke were selected as the research subjects. These subjects were randomly divided into observation group(n=44) and control group(n=44). Both groups received routine swallowing function training. On this basis, the control group was given continuous nasogastric tube feeding, while the observation group was given respiratory function training and intermittent oral to esophageal tube feeding. The clinical efficacy, nutritional status and complications of the two groups were compared. 
Conclusion  Intermittent tube feeding combined with respiratory function training can improve the swallowing function and nutritional status of stroke patients with dysphagia, and reduce the complications of aspiration and nasal mucosa injury.
