Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical auxiliary equipment, and particularly relates to a gravity gastric tube feeding device for premature infants. Background Art

[0002] An incubator, also known as an incubator, is a device that creates a temperature and humidity environment suitable for newborns. It also has an isolation function and is mainly used to keep premature babies warm. Premature babies are very afraid of cold and have difficulty adapting to the external environment, so they need to be placed in an incubator to provide a suitable temperature and humidity environment. The digestive system of premature babies is not fully developed. The younger the gestational age, the worse the sucking ability, and they may even have no swallowing reflex. They usually need to be fed by gastric tube. Gravity gastric tube feeding is a method of using gravity to slowly and evenly inject milk into the stomach. It can avoid rapid excessive expansion of the stomach caused by excessive injection of milk, reduce the gastrointestinal burden, promote intestinal peristalsis, and facilitate gastrointestinal digestion and absorption. However, when gravity gastric tube feeding is used clinically, nurses need to carry syringes. Due to the different heights of nurses, the heights of the carrying syringes are different, which makes the pressure of the milk unstable. Children are prone to gastroesophageal reflux and vomiting, and it increases the workload of nurses. Utility Model Content
