Detailed description of the invention
With reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, next will describe presently preferred embodiments of the present invention, and wherein feed cup (feedingcup) 1 and include cup (cup) 10 and lid (lid) 12.Cup mouth (spout) 14 is by cup mouth accessory (spoutfitting) 16 of device to cup 10.Cup 10 has a circular flat bottom (sign), and by wall of cup 18 around.The capacity of cup and design can change according to the demand of application.Wall of cup 18 is made up of identical solid material, plastics with at the bottom of cup.The reason of plastics particularly suitable is that it is very firm and can clean at any time and reuse.Cup 10 includes the measurement scale calibrated in outside, it is possible to be readily seen feeding how much liquid.Lid 12 is installed in the upper limb of the wall of cup 18 of cup 10 via pressing.In the form substituted, lid 12 can be fixed on cup 10 via screw or other suitable device.Lid 12 includes little circular spiracle (not shown), it is possible to neutralize the negative pressure accumulated because of the process of sucking.
Dense thick liquid food, liquefaction food, or liquid can via old man feed cup 1 be fed to patient.It practice, any flowable object can be fed to patient via feeding cup 1, including taking medicine and treating work.When fed patients liquid food, it should be noted that food itself balanced in nutrition so that patient is obtained in that suitable meals, thus providing nutrition and energy.The powder of special ratios and water can be used to modulate the liquid of predetermined density.Can have predetermined nutritive value according to the liquid that instruction modulates out, can be marked by caregiver.
The soft rubber cup mouth that cup mouth 14 is jettisonable as shown, 12 mm wides and 40 millimeters long.The length of cup mouth body 20 has great importance, and it can allow glass mouth 16 have by lip and the length close to tongue rear, explained in detail below.Short cup mouth cannot extend far enough, and allows food be introduced into the tongue rear to patient, and this sucks with reflex action of eating for stimulation is critically important.The distal opening (terminalopening) 22 of cup mouth 14 is 5 mm wides in the example shown, and the width of distal opening 22 can change according to the concentration of liquid to be processed, for example, 3 millimeters and 1 mm wide.
Cup mouth 14 is jettisonable, and the pushing accessory device passing through to slide is on cup mouth accessory 16.Cup mouth 14 is arranged on glass mouth accessory 16 via the accessory that do not slide and can form the link that safety is firm so that cup mouth 14 keeps fluid connection with cup 10 in feeding process.Liquid in cup 10 can be turned forward and be entered glass mouth 14 thereby through cup mouth accessory 16, then leaves cup 1 via distal opening 22, enters the face of patient when patient sucks.
Cup mouth 14 can have different length, for the specific patient of feeding or different liquid.For example, relatively larger patient is likely to need longer cup mouth 14 build, allows glass mouth 14 can extend rear via tooth, thus stimulating tongue and sucking and eat reflex action.If feeding water, narrow during the liquid food that the distal opening of cup mouth 14 can be more denser than wanting feeding.Cup mouth 14 should provide a scope, is possible not only to the concentration of face size and the liquid food coordinating patient, also can coordinate the preference of patient simultaneously.
When traditional method is all unsuccessful time, it is possible to attempt feeding cup 1 with old man and carry out feeding patients of senile dementia.In order to reach this purpose, stimulate the corners of the mouth of patient repeatedly with the moistening tip of the cup mouth 16 feeding cup 1.Stimulate the important step being to stimulate primitive oral cavity reflex action with the moistening tip of cup mouth 16, and search reflex action can be excited.Once trigger search reflex action, the lip of patient can begin search for glass mouth 16, and caregiver can leniently soft cup mouth 16 be put on tongue via tooth.In this case, use hard utensil or hard cup mouth all cannot prove effective, because patient's meeting tooth clinching tooth at once, refuse hard plastics or metal pair as entering face, the reflex action that Tuhe is blown may be stimulated so that patient's face is told or blown out to food simultaneously.When soft cup mouth 16 is placed on tongue via tooth, soft cup mouth 16 can leniently be moved back and forth thus triggering sucking reflex action.Once sucking reflex action is triggered, food can be introduced into the rear of tongue via a controlled way, triggers the reflex action of eating of safety when there being optimum gas protection of pipe.Searching, sucking with reflex action of eating is the primitive oral cavity reflex action that baby just has after birth, thus taking food safely.These are spontaneous can be used to instinctive behavior to allow older cosily with take food safely.
When other feeding method is all invalid, uses old man to feed cup 1 ratio and use nasogastric tube (nasogastric) or percutaneous endoscope gastrostomy feeding (PEGfeeding) to come well.It is clear that older is the same with other people, as long as there being the nutrition of abundance will feel relatively good.Their motility can be temporarily promoted with cognitive when Dementia patients obtains abundant feeding.When patient lacks nutrition, it is possible to can reduce and drink water, show cold and detached or puzzled result.
The new method using hello cup feeding can be more effective, satisfactory for there being the old man of senile dementia to bring, and the feeding of safety.
Those skilled in the art are it should be appreciated that under not departing from the spirit of various kenels of the present invention and category, can carry out various variation to embodiment.
