An automatic feeding machine that can be used to assist in the treatment of swallowing disorders

Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic meal feeding machine which can be used for assisting the treatment of dysphagia, which comprises a housing and a display screen. Rice cups, conversion joints and peristaltic pumps, the nutrient solution delivery area is equipped with food delivery pipelines, air pressure detection pipelines, pipeline valves, detection devices and control circuit integration modules, and the waste liquid collection area is equipped with waste liquid buckets and waste liquid pipes , the air pressure detection pipeline and the food delivery pipeline are connected to one end of the male connector of the gastric tube through a three-way joint, and the other end of the male connector of the gastric tube is connected to the feeding tube. In the present invention, the feeding tube passes through the mouth to the middle part of the esophagus, effectively avoiding esophageal reflux and aspiration pneumonia caused by cardia relaxation, and at the same time, it can be determined whether the feeding tube is mistakenly inserted into the trachea of ​​the human body according to the air pressure value measured by the detection device and the control circuit integrated module , so as to test whether the medical staff has inserted the special feeding tube into the human trachea by mistake, effectively ensuring the safety of patients.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of medical devices, in particular to an automatic meal feeding machine which can be used to assist in the treatment of swallowing disorders. Background technique [0002] At present, there are only two solutions to the nutritional intake problem of dysphagia, one is to indwell a nasogastric feeding tube, and the other is a gastrostomy. [0003] The indwelling nasal feeding tube did solve the problem that the patient could not eat at that time, but its side effects are also obvious to all: 1. Damage to the skin and mucous membranes of the nose, pharynx, stomach, etc., causing bleeding and infection; 2. It affects nasal ventilation; 3. It is easy to cause aspiration Pneumonia can easily cause cardia relaxation and esophageal reflux; 4. Less food is poured each time, causing malnutrition; 5. It is not conducive to swallowing function training and affects the patient's rehabilitation progress. [0004] Gastrostomy is ano...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] The indwelling nasal feeding tube did solve the problem that the patient could not eat at that time, but its side effects are also obvious to all: 1. Damage to the skin and mucous membranes of the nose, pharynx, stomach, etc., causing bleeding and infection; 2. It affects nasal ventilation; 3. It is easy to cause aspiration Pneumonia, easy to cause cardia relaxation and esophageal reflux; 4. Less food is poured each time, causing malnutrition; 5. It is not conducive to swallowing function training and affects the patient's rehabilitation progress

[0004] Gastrostomy is another way to supplement nutrition to avoid a series of complications caused by indwelling nasogastric feeding tubes, but the stoma is prone to suppuration and severe infection, which in turn makes the condition worse
