The aim of the study is clinical substantiation of a device for enteral probe feeding. The study was carried out on the basis of the surgical department of the S.R. Mirotvortsev University Clinical Hospital No. 1. The device for enteral tube feeding contains a container for enteral feeding with a lid. The lid is equipped with three ports. To the first port, inside the container, there is attached a mechanism for mixing enteral probe feeding, and on the outside, there is a compressor. To the second port, on the outer side, is connected a sensor for changing the pressure in the container and in the gastrointestinal tract, connected to a data analysis unit and an outlet valve designed to control the pressure, and made with an opening and closing mechanism. To the third port, inside the vessel, is attached a mechanism for feeding enteral probe feeding, and on the outside of the port is a nasointestinal probe attached to the patient's probe. The developed device reduces traumatization and provides the least number of consequences associated with the technical aspects of intubation, as well as provides full control of enteral tube feeding. Besides, the developed device expands the arsenal of existing devices of similar purpose, it is compact and easy to handle.
