抽痰(中英文版)

如果要下載英文版的長期照護居家技巧,您可至桃園縣長照中心下載英文衛教單,因為是全英文的衛教單,因此在這補充中文說明方便對照!(終於完成最後一篇,至此已補上桃園縣長照中心所提供的英文衛教單的所有中文說明)


THE CHAPTER ON MOUTH / NOSE SPUTUM SUCTION 經口鼻抽痰篇


HOW TO PERFORM MOUTH /NOSE SPUTUM SUCTIONING 如何進行口鼻抽痰
We feel quite uncomfortable with sputum in our throat. If the respiratory tract of our family member is congested, he/she is unable to breathe freely. Therefore, we need to help him/her to draw out sputum to let him/her breathe more efficiently and more comfortably.當我們有痰時會不太舒服,而您家人的呼吸道如果被痰所堵塞,將無法順暢的呼吸,因此,我們需要幫他抽痰,使他能呼吸得更有效、更舒服


SUPPLIES YOU NEED TO PREPARE 您需要準備的用物
A sputum suction machine, several pieces of germ-free suction tubes, germ-free gloves used in sputum suctioning, a bottle or container filled with water, germ-free normal saline solution (the valid time is 24 hours placed in refrigerator after being opened).抽痰機一台、無菌抽痰管數條、無菌抽痰用手套、裝有清水的瓶子或容器、無菌生理食鹽水(開瓶後置冰箱二十四小時為有效時間)


PROCEDURE 步驟
1.Wash your hands before operating sputum suction.抽痰前先洗手
2.Open up the packages of suction tube and connector. Do not take out the suction tube initially.打開抽痰管連接管的包裝,抽痰管不要先抽出
3.With suction tube in the package, connect its end to the hose of suction machine.抽痰管置於包裝內,將其一端接於抽痰機的橡皮管上
4.Using the gloved hand to draw out the suction tube from the package and pay, attention not to touch other things.一手戴上手套將抽痰管抽出,注意管子不可碰觸其他物品
5.Use the other hand to turn on suction machine, and meanwhile adjust the pressure. The pressure should be : 120~150 mmHg and not exceeding 200mmHg (as in diagram 1).以另一手打開抽痰機,並調好壓力,壓力為:120~150mmHg 不超過200mmHg。(如圖一)
6.Insert the suction tube to a suitable depth in nostril : 6~8 inches (15~20cm) (as in diagram 2).將抽痰管輕輕插入適當深度,鼻子:6~8吋 (15~20公分)(如圖二)
7.Use the other glove-free hand to manually control the suction pressure.以未戴手套之手控制使產生壓力抽吸
8.Use the fingers of the gloved hand to rotate suction tube 360 degrees to perform sputum suction intermittently (do not exceed 15 seconds for each therapy).戴手套之手指360度轉動抽痰管,施行間歇抽痰(每次不可超過15秒)
9.After releasing the pressure, draw out suction tube and continue to suck in clean water to wash off sputum in the tube.解除壓力後將管子抽出續抽吸清水以清潔管中之痰
10.Take off the glove, wrap suction tube within the glove and dispose them. Tidy up the surrounding and wash your hands.脫下手套,將抽痰管包在手套內丟棄,整理環境後洗手


NOTE 注意事項
1.During sputum suction therapy, do not touch other things with the suction tube and the gloved hand, or cough, talk or other acts directly to these supplies.抽痰時不可將抽痰管及戴上手套之手碰觸其他物品,或對其咳嗽、講話等
2.After using the suction tube once, change a new one and never use it again (so is the glove).抽痰管每用一次應更換勿重覆使用(抽痰手套也是)
3.In the present of tracheotomy, perform suction on tracheotomy tube first and later on mouth and nostrils. When suction is finished on mouth and nostrils do not use the suction tube on tracheotomy tube again.若有氣切應先抽氣切套管再抽口鼻,抽完口鼻後不可再用該管抽氣切套管
4.When sucking on the right (left) bronchia, tilt the patient face to the left (right) and lower his/her left (right) shoulder.抽右(左)支氣管,病患臉偏左(右)、左(右)肩向下
5.The suction interval between two therapies is 2~3 minutes.兩次抽痰時間應間隔二至三分鐘
6.If the patient face turns blue during sputum suction therapy, stop and supply the patient with oxygen. If the suction time for each therapy is too long, it will result in oxygen deficiency of tissues, and in the case of severe suffocation may even lead to heart failure. Other conditions like oversized suction tube, suction force too hight and too short interval time between two suction therapies are easy to cause oxygen deficiency.抽痰時若有臉色發青現象,應馬上停止並給氧氣,一次抽痰時間太久,會造成組織缺氧,窒息嚴重者可能導致心臟衰竭:其他如抽痰管徑太大、抽痰吸力太大、兩次抽痰時間太近,均易造成缺氧
7.Perform sputum suction therapy 30 minutes before meal or one hour after meal to avoid vomiting.可在進餐前三十分鐘或餐後一小時抽痰,以防嘔吐
8.The water level of suction bottle should not exceed 2/3 bottle to influence suction efficiently.抽吸瓶的液面不可超過2/3瓶,以免影響抽吸效果
9.In the present of tracheotomy or profuse sputum, first drip normal saline solution in suction tube several times, about 3~5ml on each sequence and then start sputum suction therapy.若有氣切及濃痰,可先用生理食鹽水緩慢分數次滴入管內,每次約3~5ml,再抽吸痰液
10.The suction machine cup must be rinsed every day and immersed in bleaching water as stated in the instruction manual. Wipe the outer surface of suction machine and clean the rubber hose with water every day.抽痰機之抽痰瓶,必須每天清洗,並以漂白水清潔液,按說明浸泡,抽痰機器外表每日以清水擦淨,橡皮管以清水洗淨
11.While inserting suction tube, do not use great force in suctioning to avoid damaging the mucus on respiratory tract.插入抽痰管時勿用力過猛的進行抽吸,以免損傷黏膜



 

復健協助關節活動(中英文版)

THE CHAPTER ON JOINT REHABILITATION 復健協助關節活動篇
Apart from being comfortable, the chapter on maintaining good mobility of joints is also able to increase our conveniences in taking care of our family member!
讓您的家人關節保持好的活動度,除了可以讓他感覺舒適外,也可以增加我們照顧時的方便!
If his/her certain joints are movable, please encourage and supervise him/her to exercise them to the utmost limit. And for those joints that are not movable (such as the hand or leg due to stroke or spinal cord injury), please help him/her to conduct joint exercise. It only takes 10 minutes of your time, and two times daily is able to achieve unexpected result!
當他的某些關節還可自行活動時,請鼓勵並督促他每日能自己活動到最大的範圍,對於他所不能活動的關節(如中風後或脊髓損傷後的手或腳),請你為他執行關節活動,每次費時十分鐘,一日二次便有意想不到的效果喔!


THE PRINCIPLES OF JOINT EXERCISE 關節活動原則
1.Before moving the joints, use a moderate hot towel or hot compress mat to hot compress on different joints to relax the muscles. After then, they are more easily to do the exercises.關節活動前,可適當的以熱毛巾或熱敷墊,熱敷各關節,使肌肉放鬆後,會較容易進行
2.Start from the hand, shoulders to legs, from the near section of every part to the far end of joints. Pay attention that every movable joint must do the exercise.可由手、肩到腳,從各部位的近端到遠端關節,注意每個可以活動的關節都要做
3.While doing joint exercising, do not force to bend or extend the joints when met with resistance to avoid bone breakage or damage. Take a gradual approach method on every joint by increasing the angle and performance. Watch out for facial expression and reaction of the family member!做關節活動時遇到阻力勿強行彎曲或拉直,以免造成骨折或傷害,每個關節採漸進式的角度增加操作,隨時注意您家人的表情反應哦!
4.Joint exercise has to be done disciplinary and consistently. Do not stop from time to time as this yields no result. It is best to perform a session each in the morning and evening and 3~5 sequences on each joint.關節運動要規律、持續執行,不要做做停停等於沒效果,最好是每天早晚各一次,每個關節做3~5次
5.Be careful of own postures while doing the exercises to make sure they are correct. Do not bend the waist excessively to avoid muscle sore.操作時注意自己的姿勢要正確,勿過度彎腰,以免造成自己的酸痛

加熱潮溼器(補充)

先前介紹了加熱潮溼器的功能,而呼吸器的加熱潮溼器有那些型式呢?在介紹加熱潮溼器的型式之前,就必須先介紹Fisher & Paykel這個廠牌,目前市面上的加熱潮溼器幾乎都是以這個廠牌為主,就小站長所知它亦是目前世界上最大的加熱潮溼器製造商(是由紐西蘭發跡的公司,沒記錯的話!),雖然許多呼吸器製造商亦有自有品牌的加熱潮溼器,但論功能的多樣化及實用程度,仍是首推Fisher & Paykel,如果以加護型呼吸器的搭配其型式,從早期的MR600(MR600至MR630咖啡色外殼)級加熱潮溼器至十年前的MR700級(MR700至MR730藍色外殼)加熱潮溼器,至目前的MR800級加熱潮溼器(MR810MR850可點選觀看其圖片),都是目前在醫院仍可能看到的型式,以目前仍有銷售的MR800級加熱潮溼器來說,MR810為針對居家使用,主要用於非侵襲性呼吸器及氧氣治療的病人,操作較為簡易,僅做加熱程度的設定,與先前該公司用於居家的型式HC150相似,但可連接加熱線使用(但沒使用較多),而MR850則可針對所有的病人皆可使用(成人、孩童及嬰兒),功能上,可提供最佳的潮溼度(37 °C, 44 mg/L),單鍵選擇最佳的溫度和溼度控制,已可讀取溫度值,並具有警示系統等。


而目前市面上亦可看到一些台製的加熱潮溼器,若有經相關單位認證,使用上應無問題,但其功能較為簡易。


加熱潮溼器的功能設計,一般以單純加溫加熱為基礎,為安全性著想,必須有溫度過高的警告或斷電保護措施,再進階則有所謂的溫度感應線進行加熱端及潮溼瓶供氣端的溫度監測,亦即亦可顯示雙端的溫度及控制,為避免管路積水,另有加熱線設計,其原理為藉由加熱線的使用,減少呼吸管路因管路進氣端至吐氣端因溫度不同而造成水氣的凝聚,而加熱線可保持管路內的溫度一致,進而減少管路積水的問題(只是有時使用麻煩,很多都沒在使用),因為上述功能的搭配,廠商才分出不同的型號提供選擇。


而搭配加熱潮溼器使用的CHAMBER潮溼瓶(蓄水瓶),在先前文章中有介紹分為重複式及拋棄式使用,而拋棄式亦有分為自動給水式及無自動給水式兩種,市面上使用的,先前仍以Fisher & Paykel為主,只是價格較高,其重複式市場價格一般在六千元以上,除非是同行購買或醫院購買才能拿到六千元以下,而拋棄式型號為MR290自動給水式,MR210自己加水式,價格在幾百元,至於在幾百和幾百之間,還是自行問廠商吧!


也因為Fisher & Paykel原廠的潮溼瓶價格較高,因此這幾年台灣廠商亦努力的學習研發,因此有好幾家已有生產出來,不論其重複式或兩種拋棄式潮溼瓶均有,其價格亦較有競爭力,但使用上仍須注意其潮溼瓶的熱傳導效果,及其組裝是否會漏水,及自動給水式的水閥關閉方式,至於價格呢!!!!(謎之音:不要為難我了,有須要廠商資訊再問吧!)


鼻胃管餵食法(中英文版)

如果要下載英文版的長期照護居家技巧,目前提供較完整的就是桃園縣長照中心所提供的,除了英文版外還有印尼文及越南文,是個值得推薦去看的地方,您可至桃園縣長照中心下載英文衛教單,因為是全英文的衛教單,因此在這補充中文說明方便對照!


連續補充了幾篇中英文對照的衛教單,主要是針對三管照護為主(氣切管、導尿管及鼻胃管),桃園縣長照中心還有提供像傷口換藥、經口鼻抽痰、姿位引流及拍擊、噴霧治療、關節活動等英文衛教單張,推薦前往一看,之後有時間再將其中文說明補上(因為打字真的很花時間!)


GAVAGE FEEDING METHOD 鼻胃管餵食法
If your family member is unable to take in food from the mouth, his nutrition will rely entire on your careful and patient preparation and gavage feeding. Let`s try it out together.在您家人無法從口進食時,他的營養全您細心與耐心的準備及灌食,讓我們一起動手來試試看!


SUPPLIES YOU NEED TO PREPARE 您需準備的用物
Feeding formula, feeding syringe, towel and tissue paper. Feeding formula preparation:灌食物、灌食筒、毛巾和衛生紙。灌食物的準備:
●Self-made formula. Prepare it in daily amount each time and store it in refrigerator. Take out only a feeding amount for each feeding, warm it up and feed it down completely. (If you can`t finish the feeding, store it back in refrigerator immediately).若採自製,則可一次製作一天的量,冰在冰箱,每次只取出需灌的量加熱並將之灌完(若無法完全灌完,應速放回冰箱冷藏)
●Powder formula. Prepare a suitable amount each time and feed it completely. For canned formula, store the remainder portion quickly in refrigerator.若採商品為粉狀者,一次只泡適當的量全部灌入;若為罐裝,則未灌完部份應速放入冰箱中冷藏
●The formula is suitable to warm up to around 38~40℃,and not higher.食物宜加溫至約38至40℃,但不可過燙


THE GAVAGE FEEDING PROCEDURES 灌食步驟
1.Wash your hands.洗手
2.Gather the gavage equipment, and prepare for a comfortable and odorless environment (to let the patient enjoys the meal).安排灌食的用物及準備舒適、無臭的環境(讓病人好好享受這一餐)
3.Help his/her to sit up or raise the bed head up 30 to 60o(to allow formula to flow down naturally) (diagram 1).協助他坐起來或使床頭抬高30至60度(使食物容易自然流下)
4.Place towel below the chin and maintain the cleanliness of the patient and bed sheet.將毛巾置於臉頰下,保持病人或床單的清潔
5.Make sure the gavage tube is still in the stomach. This can be checked with the following methods:以下列任一方法確定胃管是否仍在胃內
◆ Check the marking on the gavage tube, if it has dislocated more than 10cm, ask for a family member to block the end and pull out the tube gradually, and notify homecare attendant to insert it back. If the marking is not dislocated more than 10cm, check the oral cavity. If the gavage tube is not entangled, gently push the tube down to its original position and refastened it.檢查鼻胃管的記號,若脫出且超過十公分則請家屬塞住一端後,緩慢將管子拔出,並通知居家護理師重插,若刻度未超過十公分,檢查口腔若無胃管纏繞,則可輕推進至原刻度位置重新固定
◆ Pull back on syringe plunger to draw as to ensure the gavage tube is still in the stomach, and check for stomach residual amount. If it is more than 50cc, then postpone feeding half or an hour later. If there is no strange appearance on the drawn-out stomach content, allow it to return to stomach naturally.以空針反抽,確定胃管仍在胃內,並檢查胃內殘餘食物量,若在50cc以上,則延緩遲半小時或一小時再灌,無異狀之反抽物,食物可讓其自然流回胃內
◆ If there is no drawn-out stomach content, first check if the gavage tube is congested in the throat. If no, re-insert the tube for about 1~2 inches and continue the suction operation. Place the stethoscope over the stomach and inject 15cc of air. If you can hear a woosh sound entering the stomach, it is confirmed that the tube is in the stomach (diagram 2).若反抽沒抽到,先檢查管子是否在喉頭打結,若無,再插入約1~2吋後再回抽,將聽診器置上腹部,注入15cc空氣,若聽到氣體進入胃內的聲音,即可確定管子在胃內(圖二)
◆ You may immerse the tube`s end in water. If bubbles appear following exhalation, it denotes that the tube is in the respiratory tract but pay attention not to suck in water.亦可將管子末端放入水中,若隨著呼氣產生氣泡,表示管子在氣管,要小心水吸入氣管內
6.Use the gavage tube to draw ou the residual or medicine, fix the gavage equipment about 30~45cm above the stomach and feed in formula gradually.以灌食筒抽食物或藥物,將灌食器的高度定在腹部上約30~45公分處,緩緩灌入食物速度不宜太快
7.When feeding is finished, flush in 30~50cc of warm water to clear up the tube and avoid residual formula to get rotten or congested in the tube.待灌完後,再抽溫開水30~50cc灌入,沖淨管內剩下食物,以免管子內的食物腐敗或造成阻塞
8.Pinch the tube closed or refolded it with a cap.將管子密閉或反摺套入
9.Record the feeding formula and amount of that meal.記錄此餐的灌食內容及量


NOTE 注意事項
1.Nurse the oral and nasal cavities everyday.每日給予口腔及鼻腔護理
2.Avoid feeding in air during gavage feeding.灌食中避免灌入空氣
3.Stop feeding immediately if the following strange phenomena occurred: non-stop coughing, breathing changes, vomiting or face turning blue. Contact homecare attendant.灌食中若出現奇怪現象,如咳嗽不止或呼吸變化、嘔吐、臉色發青現象,應立即停止灌食,並連絡居家護理師
4.Take note of prescribed medicines to be taken before meal or before sleeping. They should be fed in separately.註明飯前或睡前使用的藥物應分開灌入
5.Pay attention to the marking on nasogastric tube at any time, whether it has faded or dislocated.隨時注意鼻胃管插入的標記是否褪色或脫落
6.For patient who uses the inner cannula or tracheotomy tube, it is important to perform sputum suction before feeding, and open up the air sac to prevent formula from getting into lungs.使用氣管內管或氣管套管的病人,灌食前應先抽痰,並將氣囊打開,以避免食物灌入肺內
7.After feeding, do not turn the body or perform slap percussion within 30 minutes.灌食後三十分鐘內,不要立即翻身或拍痰
8.If there a problem in gavage feeling, it may be caused by the following reasons:灌食時若感覺不易灌入,可能的原因:
(1) The tube is congested by formula. You may draw out the formula with a syringe and then flush in 25cc of warm water.管子被食物阻塞,此時可以先將灌食空針反抽,再灌入25cc溫水
(2) The tube touches the stomach wall. You may pull out the gavage tube gently for about 1cm and flush in 25cc of warm water, or change the patient`s sleeping posture.
If it is still unable to feed in formula following the above-mentioned methods, you should notify the attendant nurse.管子碰到胃壁,此時可將胃管輕輕往外拉出1cm左右,再灌入25cc溫開水,或更換病人睡姿。若以上方法都無法再灌入食物,必須通知居家護理師處理
9.The tape for securing the gavage tube must be changed every one or two days. Cleanse and dry up the face prior to taping. This can be done by splitting the tape along the center and adhere the tube in a crisscross manner(diagram 3).固定胃管的膠帶必須一至二天更換,並先清潔臉部皮膚,擦乾再貼。方法如下:膠帶從中間剪開兩條,互相交錯纏住胃管
10.Avoid pressing and curling up the tube when turning the body or gavage feeding. You may hang the tube over the ear.翻身或灌食時,管子避免受壓或牽扯扭曲,可將管子掛在耳朶上
11.Rush feeding may cause diarrhea, in particularly for high calorie formula. Other noticeable symptoms are restless, nausea and vomiting.灌食速度太快,尤其是高熱量食物,易致腹瀉,也容易造成不適、噁心、嘔吐
12.Try not to feed in too much air.儘量不要灌入太多的空氣
13.Use the other nostril with each tube change.重插時應換另一鼻孔插入
14.Pay attention to nurse nasal and oral cavities.注意鼻腔及口腔護理

THE CHAPTER ON SWALLOW TRAINING & FEEDING 吞嚥訓練及餵食篇


SWALLOW TRAINING & FEEDING 吞嚥訓練及餵食
To enjoy delicacies through the mouth is the most happiness thing in life. If your family member needs to replenish nutrients through a nasogastric tube temporary because of illness, he/she needs your help to train him/her the swallowing skill before he/she can eat through the mouth.享受由口進食的美味,是人生至大的快樂,當您的家人因病暫時以鼻胃管補充養份時,在他可以由口吃東西前,他需要您訓練他的吞嚥能力喔!
