Comfortable nasal and gastrointestinal nutrient canal and working method thereof

Abstract

The invention provides a comfortable nasal and gastrointestinal nutrient canal. The comfortable nasal and gastrointestinal nutrient canal is of a hollow structure and comprises a thick tube part and a thin tube part, wherein the thick tube part and the thin tube part are connected through a joint part, a side opening is formed in the periphery of the front end of the thick tube part, an opening is formed in the top of the front end of the thick tube part, and a funnel connector is connected with the tail end of the thin tube part. The invention further provides a working method of the comfortable nasal and gastrointestinal nutrient canal. The thick tube part and the joint part are located below the pharyngeal of a patient, the thin tube part passes through the nasopharynx of the patient, and nutrient liquid enters the gastrointestinal portion of the patient via the funnel connector through the side opening and the opening in the front end of the thick tube part, so as to supply nutrients to the human body. The thin tube and thick tube two-section combination mode is adopted, the thin tube is used for the nasopharynx, the thick tube is adopted for the portion after the nasopharynx, in this way, tube blockage can be avoided, discomfort of the nasopharynx of the patient can be relieved, patient tolerance is high, and the patient can feel more comfortable.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a nutrition tube (feeding tube) suitable for gastrointestinal nutrition after esophagus and gastrointestinal operations and various reasons, and belongs to the technical field of medical devices. Background technique [0002] At present, there are various types of gastrointestinal nutrition tubes on the market. According to the function, there are single-lumen, double-lumen, and three-lumen gastrointestinal nutrition tubes. Tube. [0003] The problems existing in these existing gastrointestinal nutrition tubes are: the smaller the tube diameter, the less irritation to the nose and throat, and the patient’s comfort is better; but because of the small tube diameter, long-term feeding is prone to tube blockage, which increases the workload of doctors and nurses. In severe cases, feeding failure can occur. The thicker the tube diameter, the less prone to blockage; but the greater the irritation to the nose and throat, the poorer ...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] The problems existing in these existing gastrointestinal nutrition tubes are: the smaller the tube diameter, the less irritation to the nose and throat, and the patient’s comfort is better; but because of the small tube diameter, long-term feeding is prone to tube blockage, which increases the workload of doctors and nurses. Can cause feeding failure in severe cases

The thicker the tube diameter, the less prone to blockage; but the greater the irritation to the nose and throat, the poorer the patient's comfort and cannot tolerate long-term feeding
