Enteral Feeding Pump Description
When renting an enteral feeding pump, make sure that it offers a high quality and easy to read display, and that it offers an easy to use and understand interface. Additionally, ensure that it has a long battery life.
Features of enteral feeding pumps
One of the things to remember about the device is that there are different types of feeds that are available for use with it. These include protein feeds, carbohydrates, water, fat, minerals, and vitamins. Depending on the type of treatment needed, the pump will have different types of tubes in order to accomplish the feedings. These include NG tubes, NJ tubes, and PEG tubes. The NG tubes are the most common. Most of the devices have large displays which make it easy to view them from a distance, as well as alarm tones for different issues that could occur.
How enteral feeding pumps work
Most of the time, patients will only need to make use of the enteral feeding pumps for a short time. These patients use the nasogastric or nasojejunal option. However, there are also some patients who may need to have these pumps in use for a long period. When using this type of feeding, it is important for those who are caring for the malnourished patient to watch for any potential signs of trouble when it comes to the tubes and the pump. While they are reliable, there is always the chance that the patient could displace the tube by mistake, and this can cause some gastrointestinal issues.
About enteral feeding pumps
