[0002] Studies have shown that early intervention for patients at risk of dysphagia is an effective way to prevent aspiration. Early diagnosis of swallowing dysfunction and screening for aspiration can effectively reduce the occurrence of aspiration pneumonia. Some scholars have pointed out that selecting an appropriate assessment scale for aspiration risk assessment, timely and accurate detection of patients' dysphagia and early formation of a standardized nursing intervention process are of great clinical significance in reducing and avoiding aspiration. Adjusting the texture of food and the properties of liquid according to the severity of oropharyngeal dysphagia and quantifying the consistency of food can reduce the incidence of aspiration and aspiration pneumonia and shorten the clinical course of patients.

[0003] How to effectively evaluate the swallowing function of elderly patients so as to provide early and effective prevention and intervention measures is an effective solution to this problem, which is of great significance and value. After VVST-CV (modified volume viscosity test) evaluation, the safe viscosity and optimal "bite size" obtained from the evaluation can be directly applied to the patient's swallowing treatment by improving the food texture.

[0004] At present, there is a lack of a spoon for medical staff to use when performing VVST-CV assessment on elderly patients. Generally, medical syringes are used directly during VVST-CV assessment, which is extremely inconvenient to use and also brings psychological fear to patients. At the same time, medical syringes do not have the function of pressing down the patient's tongue coating, making it inconvenient to introduce the solution into the patient's mouth. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an improved evaluation spoon for volumetric viscosity testing, which can be used as an evaluation tool to facilitate nurses to accurately deliver 3, 5, and 10 ml of liquids of different viscosities into the patient's mouth during the test, and can also be used as an auxiliary tool for elderly patients with hemiplegia to eat.

[0023] The utility model is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] As attached Figure 1 As shown, an improved evaluation spoon for volumetric viscosity testing of an embodiment of the utility model includes a syringe 1 and an eating auxiliary mechanism, a mounting member 2 is installed on the syringe 1 and on the side of the injection port of the syringe 1, the eating auxiliary mechanism includes a rotating shaft 21, a spoon 22 and a pressing plate 23, the rotating shaft 21 is rotatably installed in the mounting member 2, the front side of the rotating shaft 21 is fixedly connected to the spoon 22, the rear side of the rotating shaft 21 is fixedly connected to the pressing plate 23, and the pressing plate 23 is used to drive the spoon 22 to swing up and down around the rotating shaft 21.

[0025] The utility model arranges the rotating shaft 21, the spoon 22 and the pressing plate 23 on the feeding auxiliary mechanism. When in use, as the medical staff presses the pressing plate 23 downward in the direction of the syringe 1, the rotating shaft 21 can be driven to rotate, so that the spoon 22 connected to the rotating shaft 21 can swing at a certain angle, and thereby the tongue coating of the patient can be pressed down by the spoon 22, and food can be smoothly introduced into the oral cavity of the elderly patient, which is convenient for elderly patients with hemiplegia, sarcopenia, etc. to grasp easily, use the spoon, and facilitate oral feeding.

[0026] In another embodiment, the feeding assist mechanism further includes a spring 24, and the spring 24 is connected between the pressing plate 23 and the outer wall of the syringe 1, and the spring 24 is used to keep the pressing plate 23 away from the syringe 1. In this way, when in use, the pressing plate 23 can be kept away from the syringe 1 by the spring 24, so as to facilitate the rebound of the spoon 22 after use.

[0027] The spring 24 is detachably connected to the pressing plate 23 and the syringe 1. Thus, the spring 24 of different strengths can be replaced as needed to meet the rebound requirements of different users for the spoon 22.

[0028] In another embodiment, the feeding assistance mechanism further includes a limit block. The limit block is installed on the outer wall of the syringe 1. A through hole is provided in the middle of the limit block along the axial direction of the syringe 1 tube body. The end of the pressing plate 23 away from the rotating shaft 21 passes through the through hole and can slide in the through hole along the radial direction of the syringe 1 tube body. In this way, when in use, the swing range of the pressing plate 23 can be limited by the limit block, which is convenient for the user to operate; at the same time, the rotation range of the spoon 22 can also be limited to ensure the safety and reliability of use. In this embodiment, the limit block can be set and used together with the above-mentioned spring 24.

In this way, a detachable anti-skid means can be added by setting the card shell 3. When the device is used, the card shell 3 can be installed as needed, and the anti-skid pattern 32 of the card shell 3 can be used to prevent slipping. After use, the card shell 3 can be disassembled, and the syringe 1 and other components and the card shell 3 can be cleaned separately to ensure that the device is clean.

[0032] Among them, the inner wall of the card shell 3 is provided with a card slot 31, and the card slot 31 and the outer wall of the syringe 1 fit each other, and the card shell 3 is fitted and connected to the outer wall of the syringe 1 through the card slot 31. When in use, the card shell 3 can be fitted and connected to the outer wall of the syringe 1 through the card slot 31.

[0033] The outer wall of the card shell 3 is fixedly mounted with a silicone handle 4, and the inside of the silicone handle 4 is fixedly mounted with a finger sleeve 41. In this way, when in use, it is convenient for medical staff to insert their fingers into the finger sleeve 41 to grasp the syringe 1, which can further ensure the stability of the device. When using the device, medical staff can first insert the index finger, ring finger, middle finger and little finger of the hand into the finger sleeve 41 in sequence to ensure that the nurse can firmly grasp the syringe 1, avoid the syringe 1 falling off, not holding it firmly, and causing food spillage.

[0034] When in use, first inject food of different consistencies into the syringe 1 in sequence, and use the scale line 13 to ensure a certain capacity each time, and then aim the injection port of the syringe 1 at the inside of the patient's mouth to effectively evaluate the swallowing function of the elderly patient; at the same time, according to the patient's condition, if the patient suffers from hemiplegia or sarcopenia, and it is difficult for the patient to eat food, the pressing plate 23 can be pressed down in the direction of the syringe 1, which can drive the rotating shaft 21 to rotate, so that the spoon 22 connected to the rotating shaft 21 can swing at a certain angle, and thereby, the tongue coating of the patient can be pressed down by the spoon 22, and the food can be smoothly introduced into the oral cavity of the elderly patient, so that elderly patients with hemiplegia, sarcopenia, etc. can easily master the use of the device and it is conducive to oral feeding. At the same time, a silicone handle 4 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the card shell 3, and a finger sleeve 41 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the silicone handle 4. When medical staff use the device, they can first put the index finger, ring finger, middle finger and little finger of the hand into the finger sleeve 41 in sequence to ensure that the nurse can firmly grasp the syringe 1 to avoid the syringe 1 falling off or not being held firmly, resulting in food spilling.
