TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of medical apparatus and instruments, especially relates to an enteral nutrition infusion device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Enteral nutrition supply refers to a nutrition support method for supplying metabolism necessary nutrient substances and other various nutrients through gastrointestinal tract to ensure that patients can intake sufficient protein and heat, and is a clinical treatment method. In clinical practice, patients cannot perform normal nutrition supply due to swallowing dysfunction, coma, physical obstacles, postoperative inconvenience and other factors, cannot maintain daily nutritional needs, and must use enteral nutrition supply mode to maintain physiological needs. There are many infusion methods for enteral nutrition, and currently, a continuous infusion method is generally used in clinical practice. However, the temperature and infusion speed of enteral nutrition liquid directly affect the effect. If the temperature is too low or the infusion speed is too fast, the patient will have discomfort such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, diarrhea, etc. Even the patient cannot tolerate and is forced to stop enteral nutrition. If the speed is too high, the digestive tract mucosa of the patient is damaged, and if the speed is too slow, the required heat is not reached or the pipeline is blocked, the gastrointestinal function cannot be well recovered, and the disease course is prolonged. The above deficiencies have been reported in many related documents, so the accuracy of the temperature and the balance of the speed are particularly important.
[0003] Currently, the control of the infusion speed mainly uses an enteral nutrition pump, and its core component is a peristaltic device. The device drives a wheel with a number of protrusions on the edge to rotate to continuously extrude the infusion tube, so as to form the peristaltic advance of the nutrient liquid. However, although the device can control the infusion speed of the nutrient liquid, it cannot guarantee that the temperature of the nutrient liquid is within the appropriate range (38-40 degrees Celsius).
