Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a nasogastric feeding reminder card. Background Technology
[0002] The purpose of nasogastric feeding is to deliver liquid food through a gastric tube to patients who are unable to eat orally, ensuring they receive sufficient nutrients, fluids, and medications. For critically ill patients and long-term bedridden recovering patients, nasogastric feeding not only provides essential nutritional support but also reduces complications such as cachexia, improving their quality of life.
[0003] However, there are strict requirements for the amount and interval of nasogastric feeding. The textbook specifies that the amount of nasogastric feeding should not exceed 200ml per feeding and the interval should not be less than 2 hours. For adults, the amount of nasogastric feeding per feeding is too small and the interval is too long, which may cause patients to feel hungry frequently and have insufficient nutrient intake. For elderly patients, due to reduced physical activity, decreased metabolic rate and reduced gastrointestinal function, the amount of nasogastric feeding should start from 100ml and be gradually increased according to the situation, and then maintained after reaching 200ml, with an interval of 2-4 hours per feeding. For pediatric patients receiving nasogastric feeding, the amount of nasogastric feeding per feeding is 50-100ml per feeding and the interval is 1.5 hours.
[0004] In clinical practice, nasogastric feeding protocols are often developed and adjusted by medical professionals based on the patient's actual condition. Furthermore, due to factors such as workload and intensity, the actual amount and interval of nasogastric feeding can deviate significantly, directly affecting the effectiveness of the feeding. Additionally, nurses must memorize the feeding amounts and intervals for different patients and review doctor's orders or nursing execution sheets every shift, which is not only labor-intensive but also hinders real-time monitoring and quick shift handover. Utility Model Content
[0005] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a nasogastric feeding reminder card that can monitor the amount of nasogastric feeding and the interval between feedings for each patient in real time.

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0034] Example 1:
[0035] This embodiment provides a nasogastric feeding reminder card, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes: card 1, time dial 2, dosage dial 3, clock hand 4, and limiting component 5;
[0036] The card 1 has a 24-hour time dial 2; the dosage dial 3 can rotate on the card 1 and has multiple dosage markings arranged in a circular pattern on the dosage dial 3; the clock hand 4 can also rotate on the card 1 and is used to indicate the time on the time dial 2; the clock hand 4 can also indicate the dosage on the dosage dial 3; the limiting component 5 is set on the card 1 to limit the rotation of the dosage dial 3 and the clock hand 4; the axis of the time dial 2 is the same as the rotation axis 74 of the dosage dial 3 and the clock hand 4.
[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, card 1 is square, and the dosing disc 3 has eight dosage markings. The dosage markings can be increased or decreased as needed, depending on the actual situation; for example... Figure 3 As shown, both the rotation axis 74 of the dosing disc 3 and the rotation axis 74 of the clock hand 4 have through holes to allow the slide rod 53 to pass through, and the dosing disc 3 and the clock hand 4 are fitted onto the outer wall of the slide rod 53, allowing them to rotate along the outer wall of the slide rod 53; a hollow hole 41 is formed in the middle of the clock hand 4, and an indicator arrow 42 is provided on the side away from the axis of the clock hand 4, the indicator arrow 42 being integrally formed with the clock hand 4; the clock hand 4 indicates the dosage through the hollow hole 41; the clock hand 4 indicates the time through the indicator arrow 42; that is, when the dosage mark on the dosing disc 3 is located at the hollow hole 41, the clock hand 4 indicates that dosage mark, and when the indicator arrow 42 points to a certain time on the time disc 2, the clock hand 4 indicates that time.
[0038] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the limiting component 5 includes: a slide bar 53, a pressing head 54, and a snap fastener structure.
[0039] The slide bar 53 passes through the axis of the clock hand 4 and the dosing disc 3 in sequence and is slidably connected to the card 1;
[0040] Specifically, a sliding cavity 56 is formed on the card 1, and a sliding groove 532 is provided on both sides of the sliding cavity 56. A protrusion 531 corresponding to the sliding groove 532 is also formed on both sides of the sliding rod 53. The sliding rod 53 passes through the through hole on the clock hand 4 and the dosing plate 3 in sequence and is slidably connected to the sliding cavity 56 of the card 1. The protrusion 531 is located in the sliding groove 532, which can prevent the sliding rod 53 from sliding out of the sliding cavity 56.
[0041] A pressing head 54 is provided on the end of the slide bar 53 away from the card 1;
[0042] Specifically, a pressing head 54 is fixedly connected to the end of the slide bar 53 away from the card 1. The pressing head 54 is circular and its diameter is larger than the diameter of the through hole on the clock hand 4 so that the pressing head 54 can press against the outer wall of the clock hand 4.
[0043] The slide bar 53 is snapped into the card 1 via the snap-fit mechanism.
[0044] Specifically, the snap-on structure includes a first female snap 51 and a first male snap 52. The first male snap 52 is pressed into the groove of the first female snap 51, thereby enabling the slide bar 53 to engage with the card 1.
[0045] More specifically, in this embodiment, a first male buckle 52 is fixedly connected to the end of the slide rod 53 away from the pressing head 54, and a first female buckle 51 is fixedly connected to the sliding cavity 56 of the card 1. The slide rod 53 and the card 1 are engaged by pressing the first male buckle 52 into the groove of the first female buckle 51. The first male buckle 52 and the first female buckle 51 can refer to the male and female buckle structure commonly found on clothing. Since it is existing technology, it will not be described in detail here. On the contrary, in other embodiments, a first female buckle 51 can be provided on the slide rod 53, and a first male buckle 52 can be provided in the sliding cavity 56. Moreover, the snap fastener structure can also adopt a common snap fastener structure, which will not be described in detail here.
[0046] Furthermore, a friction plate 55 is fixedly connected to the side of the pressing head 54 that contacts the hour hand 4. When the pressing head 54 presses the hour hand 4, the friction plate 55 will contact the outer wall of the hour hand 4. The friction plate 55 is a rubber sheet, which can increase the friction force and make the hour hand 4 less likely to rotate.
[0047] In other embodiments, the limiting component 5 consists of a bolt and a threaded hole. The bolt passes through the through holes on the clock hand 4 and the dosing disc 3 in sequence and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole of the card 1. By screwing the bolt into the threaded hole, the head of the bolt presses against the outer wall of the clock hand 4, thereby limiting the rotation of the clock hand 4 and the dosing disc 3.
[0048] The working principle of the nasogastric feeding reminder card in this embodiment is as follows:
[0049] After administering nasogastric feeding to the patient, adjust this nasogastric feeding reminder card. First, pull the pressing head 54. Pulling the pressing head 54 causes the sliding rod 53 to slide, and the sliding rod 53 causes the first male buckle 52 to move out of the first female buckle 51. At this time, the pressing head 54 no longer presses the clock hand 4, and the clock hand 4 no longer presses the dosage disc 3. Then, medical staff can rotate the dosage disc 3 and the clock hand 4 so that the corresponding dosage mark is located at the cutout hole 41, and the corresponding time is indicated by the clock hand 4. Then, press the pressing head 54, causing the sliding rod 53 to cause the first male buckle 52 to engage with the first female buckle 51, while the pressing head 54 presses the outer wall of the clock hand 4, and the clock hand 4 presses the dosage disc 3, thereby restricting the rotation of the clock hand 4 and the dosage disc 3. In this way, other medical staff can know the patient's nasogastric feeding time and amount by checking this nasogastric feeding reminder card. Figure 1 As shown, the clock hand 4 indicates the time 8 on the time dial 2, while the cutout hole 41 indicates 200ml. In other words, other medical staff can know that the patient has already eaten 200ml at 8 o'clock.
[0050] Example 2:
[0051] This embodiment, based on embodiment one, also includes a fixing component 7; the fixing component 7 includes a fixing strap 71 and a buckle structure; one end of the fixing strap 71 is rotatably connected to the back side of the card 1, and the other end is snapped to the front side of the card 1 through the buckle structure.
[0052] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, one end of the fixing strap 71 is rotatably connected to the back of the card 1 via a pivot 74; the buckle structure includes a second male buckle 72 and a second female buckle 73. The second female buckle 73 is fixedly connected to the front of the card 1, and the second male buckle 72 is fixedly connected to the other end of the fixing strap 71. By inserting the second male buckle 72 into the second female buckle 73, the movable end of the fixing strap 71 can be engaged with the front of the card 1. The specific structure of the second male buckle 72 and the second female buckle 73 is the same as that of male and female buckles in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here; medical staff can fix the card 1 to the guardrail at the head or foot of the bed through the fixing component 7.
[0053] Example 3:
[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment further includes an electronic timer 6, which is disposed on the front side of the card 1, based on embodiment one or embodiment two.
[0055] Specifically, the electronic timer 6 is connected to the upper right corner of the front side of card 1 via a card slot. Both the buckle and the card slot are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. In other embodiments, they can be connected by adhesive or thread. The electronic timer 6 can be used as a clock or a countdown timer. When the electronic timer 6 is used as a countdown timer, the operator can adjust the electronic timer 6 to set the reminder time, thereby making preparations in advance, avoiding delays in the patient's nasogastric feeding time due to busy work, ensuring that the patient eats on time, and making the handover clear and quick, avoiding frequent checks of nursing records, and improving work efficiency.
[0056] Example 4:
[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment, based on embodiment one, two, or three, also includes a transparent bag 8. The transparent bag 8 is fixedly connected to the lower right corner of the front side of the card 1. The side wall or top wall of the transparent bag 8 is open. In this embodiment, the right side wall of the transparent bag 8 is open. Medical staff can insert the card 1, which is marked with relevant information about the patient's gastric tube insertion and medical orders such as "nasogastric feeding amount and interval", into the transparent bag 8 through the opening. Thus, medical staff can learn about the patient's relevant information by looking at the card 1 inside the transparent bag 8.
