Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medicine feeders, in particular to a medicine feeder for intensive care patients. Background Art

[0002] At present, patients in intensive care units require special medical care. Since the patients are seriously ill and cannot move, they need to be fed by medical staff when taking medicine. Especially for liquid medicine, they need to be fed with a cup or spoon. The liquid medicine can easily flow out from the corners of the patient's mouth and splash clothes and bedding. If the patient does not cooperate well, the patient is easily choked, which not only increases the labor intensity of medical staff, but also increases the pain of patients. Therefore, a medicine feeder is needed to meet the needs of critically ill patients for feeding medicine.

[0003] Referring to the existing literature, a medicine feeder for critically ill patients (CN211410202U) uses a separate drug extraction tube and a drug discharge tube to feed medicine to critically ill patients. At the same time, the drug discharge hose and the drug extraction hose can be quickly taken out for disinfection, so that the medicine feeder can be kept clean and hygienic at all times to prevent patient infection. However, the drug extraction hose is only suitable for liquid medicines. It is difficult to load solid particles, capsules and other medicines into the medicine feeder. The device uses a drug discharge hose when feeding medicine. Some critically ill patients have no self-awareness and will not open their mouths to drink medicine. When the medical staff opens the patient's mouth, the patient's tongue easily blocks the drug discharge hose from entering the mouth, so that the drug discharge hose only enters a very shallow place in the mouth, causing the medicine liquid to easily flow out from the corners of the mouth when feeding. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a medicine feeder for intensive care patients, aiming to solve the problem in the prior art that the medicine extraction hose is only suitable for liquid medicines, and it is difficult to load solid particles, capsules and other medicines into the medicine feeder; and when medical staff open the patient's mouth, the patient's tongue easily blocks the medicine discharge hose from entering the mouth, so that the medicine discharge hose only enters a very shallow place in the mouth, causing the medicine liquid to easily flow out from the corners of the mouth when feeding.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A medicine feeder for intensive care patients comprises a medicine feeding barrel, which is connected to a medicine outlet tube at the bottom and is a hollow short tube; a medicine outlet connecting tube, which is installed at the bottom of the inside of the medicine outlet tube and fits with the medicine outlet tube; a mounting tube, which is installed on the outer surface of the medicine outlet connecting tube and fits with the medicine outlet connecting tube; a tongue depressor, which is connected to one side of the outer surface of the mounting tube and is a small plastic plate; a first push rod, which is arranged inside the medicine feeding barrel and has a small hole at the bottom; and a powder medicine tube, which is arranged inside the first push rod and is hollow.

[0007] Preferably, the medicine feeding barrel further comprises: a medicine feeding handle, which is connected to the upper outer surface of the medicine feeding barrel and has protruding handles on the left and right sides.

[0008] Preferably, the first push rod further includes: a push rod leather plug, which is arranged below the first push rod and is made of a relatively soft material.

[0009] Preferably, the powder medicine tube further comprises: a powder medicine cover, which is installed above the powder medicine tube and fits with the powder medicine tube.

[0010] Preferably, the powder medicine cover further comprises: a second push rod connected to the top of the powder medicine cover; and a push handle installed on the top of the second push rod, which is a plastic oval.

[0011] Preferably, the powder medicine cover further comprises: a second push rod connected to the top of the powder medicine cover; and a push handle installed on the top of the second push rod, which is a plastic oval.

[0012] The embodiment of the utility model provides a medicine feeder for critical care patients, which has the following beneficial effects: when a patient takes granular or capsule medicines, the medicines can be crushed into powder, poured into a powder medicine tube, mixed with warm water in the medicine feeder, and fed to the patient, so that the medicine feeder is suitable for both liquid medicines and solid medicines. When feeding medicines to critically ill patients, the tongue of the patient can be lightly pressed with a tongue depressor so that the medicine outlet connecting tube can enter deeper into the mouth, preventing the medicine liquid from flowing out from the corners of the patient's mouth.

[0013] By setting up a powder medicine tube, when a patient takes granule or capsule medicine, the medicine can be crushed into powder, poured into the powder medicine tube, mixed with warm water in the medicine feeder, and fed to the patient, so that the medicine feeder is suitable for both liquid and solid medicines.

[0014] A tongue depressor is provided with a mounting tube connected to one side of the tongue depressor, and the tongue depressor is fixed to one side of the medicine outlet connecting tube through the mounting tube. When feeding medicine to a critically ill patient, the tongue of the patient is lightly pressed with the tongue depressor so that the medicine outlet connecting tube can enter deeper into the mouth, thereby preventing the medicine from flowing out from the corners of the patient's mouth.
