Service Details:
Extension sets for pump feeding are crucial for individuals with feeding difficulties requiring enteral nutrition. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) acknowledges the need for reliable and sterile equipment, thus facilitating the yearly provision of 10 sets. These sets include tubing and connectors that link the feeding pump to the individual’s feeding tube, enabling efficient and hygienic nutrient delivery. Regular replacement minimises contamination risks and ensures the feeding system remains operational and effective.
Participant Outcomes:
By accessing these resources, participants can maintain their nutritional health, which is fundamental to their overall wellbeing. It allows for continuous care and reduces the frequency of medical complications related to feeding. The consistent support fosters independence in managing one’s health and alleviates stress from the participant and their caregivers.
Impact Statement:
Timely replacement of extension sets significantly uplifts participants' quality of life through uninterrupted and safe feeding support.
