Ruminatory reflex chewing activities in the comatose patient and the associated prostheses used in their treatment have been well documented in the literature. The comatose patient, whose condition is further complicated by the need for oral-endotracheal intubation, requires the aid of a prosthesis which will allow for long-term patency of the tube to maintain proper ventilation.
文献中已充分记录了昏迷患者的反刍反射咀嚼活动及其治疗中使用的相关假体。因需要进行口腔气管插管而病情进一步复杂化的昏迷患者，需要一种假体的辅助，该假体将确保导管长期通畅以维持适当的通气。
