Abstract
The present invention relates to an enteral feeding unit having a reflux device for use during enteral feeding. The enteral feeding unit, in one embodiment, includes an administration device connected to a relatively large reservoir tube which is in fluid communication with a patient's oral or nasal passage. The reservoir tube receives the reflux fluid from a patient and returns the reflux fluid to the patient when certain pressure conditions are present. This reservoir tube is preferably non-collapsible and preferably bears volumetric markings which enable a user to measure ,the amount of reflux fluid expelled by a patient. This type of enteral feeding unit provides users with a convenient way of accommodating and monitoring reflux fluid during the enteral feeding process.
