The Right Medical Equipment Makes all the Difference
The Benefits of Using a Kangaroo
Using a Kangaroo has its benefits. It is a way to ensure that precise enteral feeding can be delivered, and it can be easily programmed to deliver not only precise but continuous care and feeding as well. It can also be programmed to provide automatic flushing when used with additional supplies such as a Kangaroo Pump and flush sets.
Most Kangaroo feeding pumps operate quietly and are compact as well as portable. They can also be used on a table top or on an IV pole. They’re fairly simple to use in the home as well as in the hospital and often offer an automatic Anti-Free-Flow feature.
You Need the Right Equipment in Any Setting
It’s important to be able to have the necessary medical equipment at home when it’s time to transition from the hospital to a more familiar setting. The equipment used at home needs to be reliable as well as easy-to-use for people who may not have extensive medical training. It needs to be something that you can count on to do its job so that the life and health of the patient using it will not be put into danger.
Home care, as well as long-term care that involves enteral feeding, has become more common in the last few years. Having a medical device that you can rely on takes the stress out of caring for a loved one, and it’s a huge benefit to the caregiver. The Kangaroo pump, in particular, is well suited for home use and is also often the recommended choice by medical professionals.
The Kangaroo is Easy to Use
It’s easy to use a Kangaroo system, and all you have to do is complete the initial setup and preparation before connecting the battery pack. Then you can attach the pole clamp before pressing the power button on the control pad. You’ll have the option to keep or clear the settings, and then you can open the pump set loading area. Next, you will need to load the pump set, prime the pump, set the feeding mode and parameters and then you’re ready to press run. You want to make sure that your hands are properly sanitized to ensure that you reduce the chance of infection.
You Need to Have the Right Protective Equipment
Having the right equipment can make it possible to move a patient from a hospital setting, which is what most patients would prefer since they want to be in the comfort of their own home. It also frees up space in the hospital for other patients who need care.
Home care service, also known as companion care, live-in care, or personal care, is a service many people need. Without the proper equipment, it would not be possible to care for the elderly, the terminally ill, or another type of patient with a medical need in a home setting. As with any type of medical equipment, it’s important to keep everything sanitized and to ensure that medical equipment is sterilized properly.
It’s important to wear the correct protective clothing, gloves, face shields, goggles, facemasks, and to take any other precautions even if you’re in a home setting. An infection can happen anywhere, so it’s best to avoid it entirely. Some patients will have a difficult time recovering from an infection or will not be able to.
This type of equipment is commonly used in health care settings, such as clinical labs, hospitals, and doctor’s offices. This protective equipment acts as a kind of barrier between viral and bacterial contaminants and your eyes, nose, mouth, and skin. It is also important to have proper hygiene habits, such as washing the hands and covering coughs and sneezes. You should also use alcohol-based hand sanitizers habitually and dispose of contaminated objects such as gloves and other equipment that cannot be sterilized properly.
It is possible to give a high level of care at home, or any setting beside a medical facility, if you use the correct equipment and are careful to keep everything clean and sanitized. It is often a better environment for the patient as well, as they can live as normally as they can while still getting the care that they need.
