Abstract

The invention discloses a quantitative feeder with a heating function for a sufferer suffering from impaired swallowing. The quantitative feeder comprises a feeder and a supporting frame, wherein thefeeder is detachably arranged on the supporting frame and comprises a food containing device, a top cover of the food containing device, a quantitative feeding device and a food guiding tube, the topcover of the food containing device is detachably connected to the upper part of the food containing device, one end of the quantitative feeding device is detachably connected to the lower part of thefood containing device, and the other end of the quantitative feeding device is detachably connected with the food guiding tube. The quantitative feeder is simple in structure and convenient in operation and is safe and reliable, the food intake of the sufferer at a time during food taking can be controlled, interrupted food taking can be achieved, a temperature of food can be guaranteed during long-time food taking of the sufferer, irritation to a digestive tract of the sufferer is avoided, secondary injury to the sufferer is avoided, the rehabilitation of the sufferer is contributed, the amount of labor of accompanying personnel is reduced, and thus, the quantitative feeder is applicable to extensive popularization and application.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a medical appliance, in particular to a quantitative feeder with heating function used by patients with swallowing disorders. Background technique [0002] Dysphagia is due to the impairment of upper and lower jaws, lips, tongue, soft palate, throat, esophageal sphincter or esophageal function, which makes it difficult to safely and effectively send food from the mouth to the stomach, and to obtain sufficient nutrition and water to eat. Dysphagia is caused by a variety of reasons. If it is not handled properly, it may easily lead to aspiration pneumonia, malnutrition, and dehydration, seriously affecting the recovery process, and even causing septic shock, hypovolemic shock, and death. Clinically, patients with dysphagia are often artificially fed with liquid or semi-liquid food by indwelling a gastric tube through the nose or intermittent nasal feeding, and reducing food reflux and aspiration by adjusting the semi-recumbent po...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Clinically, patients with dysphagia are often artificially fed with liquid or semi-liquid food by indwelling a gastric tube through the nose or intermittent nasal feeding, and reducing food reflux and aspiration by adjusting the semi-recumbent position, but the food is usually provided by a large syringe. It is difficult to control the eating speed by assisting pushing or dripping with an infusion device, and because the nasal feeding time is long, the liquid food is easy to irritate the gastric mucosa after it cools down, causing secondary damage to the patient; for patients with dysphagia who can eat orally, the accompanying staff Generally, a spoon is used to dig food for feeding. Since the patient eats slowly, the food becomes cold and easily irritates the digestive tract.

In addition, caregivers of patients with dysphagia often complain: since the food, water, and medicine of the patient need to be fed through the nose, in order to ensure the daily nutrition, water and drug treatment of the patient, the patient spends most of his time in "beating food". , fetching water, and flushing the tube", it is difficult to ensure the effective implementation of the more important turning over and back, system rehabilitation, etc. in the medical process of patients
