Multifunctional swallowing evaluation treatment spoon

Abstract

Disclosed is a multifunctional swallowing evaluation treatment spoon. The spoon comprises a spoon handle and a spoon cup which are both marked with scales. Because the spoon is internally provided with the clear scales, accurate quantification can be conducted, and therefore the food capacity of a patient in one-time safe eating and swallowing can be accurately estimated; the spoon handle and thebottom of a spoon head are provided with the clear scales so that the height of mouth opening of the patient can be measured, the improvement condition of the mouth opening degree of the patient who has difficulty in opening the mouth is conveniently and quickly evaluated, and accurate data is provided for the evaluation of the oral-stage rehabilitation of the dysphagia patient; the spoon handle is cylindrical, the interior of the spoon handle is of a hollow structure, and the spoon handle is composed of a spoon handle body and a spoon handle tail; an ice bar can be placed at the spoon handletail, and the dysphagia patient with a poor oral sense can carry out temperature tactile stimulation training; a sponge massage brush can also be placed, and water dipped with odor is used for stimulating and massaging the oral and pharyngeal mucous membranes and can also be used for cleaning the oral cavity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of medical equipment, in particular to a multifunctional swallowing evaluation treatment spoon. Background technique [0002] Most patients with swallowing disorders are caused by oropharyngeal diseases, esophageal diseases, and neuromuscular diseases, and these diseases will also affect the size of the patient's mouth opening and directly affect the patient's swallowing function. At present, ordinary soup spoons lack obvious and clear scales, and medical staff cannot accurately grasp the patient's mouthful amount (that is, the safe volume) when performing swallowing assessment screening, and cannot accurately evaluate the measurement of dysphagia; at the same time, the degree of mouth opening of patients before and after treatment Changes lack simple and portable assessment tools, and medical staff cannot quickly and conveniently conduct bedside assessment and tracking. In addition, when family members and patients ...

Problems solved by technology

At present, ordinary soup spoons lack obvious and clear scales, and medical staff cannot accurately grasp the patient's mouthful amount (that is, the safe volume) when performing swallowing assessment screening, and cannot accurately evaluate the measurement of dysphagia; at the same time, the degree of mouth opening of patients before and after treatment Changes lack simple and portable assessment tools, and medical staff cannot perform bedside assessment and tracking quickly and conveniently

In addition, when family members and patients perform direct swallowing training, on-site control cannot be carried out, and the safety of one sip cannot be accurately controlled. Patients are prone to aspiration, which may cause the risk of lung infection or even suffocation.

For patients with swallowing dysfunction, when the speech therapist is doing swallowing sensory stimulation treatment, the traditional ice cubes will easily turn into water when they enter the patient's mouth, which will easily lead to aspiration and frostbite of the patient, thus causing lung infection
