Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age between 18 and 75 years. 2. Hospitalized patients in the rehabilitation department with acute non-traumatic ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, or subarachnoid hemorrhage requiring tracheostomy. 3. Hemodynamic stability: Systolic blood pressure maintained between 90-160 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure between 60-100 mmHg, respiratory rate between 12-30 breaths/min, heart rate between 60-120 beats/min, body temperature between 36.5°C-38.5°C, and arterial oxygen saturation (SaO₂) consistently \>90% at admission and prior to tracheostomy. 4. Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 5-15 at assessment. 5. Tracheostomy performed within 24-72 hours after stroke onset. 6. Peripheral blood hemoglobin concentration at admission within specified ranges (male: 120-180 g/L; female: 110-160 g/L). 7. Signed informed consent provided by the patient or legal guardian. Exclusion Criteria: 1. History of severe cardiopulmonary dysfunction (e.g., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cor pulmonale, coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy) with New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class III or IV, or recent (within 6 months) acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina. 2. Diagnosis of advanced malignancy (life expectancy \<6 months) with ongoing chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or palliative care. 3. Severe hepatic or renal insufficiency (e.g., decompensated cirrhosis, chronic renal failure requiring long-term dialysis). 4. Uncontrolled endocrine disorders (e.g., thyrotoxic crisis, myxedema coma, diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state). 5. Coagulation disorders: * Congenital or acquired coagulopathies (e.g., hemophilia, vitamin K deficiency, coagulation factor deficiency due to severe liver disease, antiphospholipid syndrome). * Active anticoagulation therapy (e.g., warfarin with INR \>3.0, heparin with APTT exceeding twice the upper limit of normal) unadjustable to a safe range within 72 hours. 6. Major surgery within 3 months (e.g., cardiac, abdominal, or orthopedic surgery). 7. Severe chest trauma (e.g., multiple rib fractures, pneumohemothorax) or abdominal trauma (e.g., liver/spleen rupture, intestinal perforation) within 1 month prior to stroke onset, with incomplete recovery. 8. Active uncontrolled infection at admission (e.g., pneumonia, urinary tract infection, intracranial infection, sepsis) defined by: * Temperature \>38.5°C persisting \>24 hours. * Elevated white blood cell count, increased neutrophil percentage, and clinical signs of infection. * Positive bacterial cultures (blood, sputum, urine). 9. Recent (within 1 week) exposure to infectious diseases (e.g., travel to epidemic areas, contact with confirmed cases) with suspected latent or active infection. 10. History of neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease) or motor neuron disorders (e.g., amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). 11. Congenital neurological developmental abnormalities (e.g., hydrocephalus, cerebral palsy). 12. Severe uncontrolled psychiatric disorders (e.g., schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder) impairing daily function or treatment adherence. 13. Cognitive impairment (e.g., dementia) with Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score \<10. 14. Pregnancy or lactation. 15. Hypersensitivity or contraindications to study-related drugs or procedures (e.g., allergy to tracheostomy tube materials, antibiotic allergies without alternatives). 16. Inability to complete follow-up or required tests (e.g., geographical barriers, unreliable contact information). 17. Non-compliance of the patient or family members with the study protocol. 18. Failure to obtain informed consent. 19. Participation in other interventional clinical trials.
