Enteral feeding system utilizing gastrointestinal myoelectrography

Abstract

An improved system (10) for initially positioning and for continuous or intermittent monitoring of the location of the distal end of a feeding tube (12, 12a) in a patient's gastrointestinal tract and for selectively controlling a feeding device (24) associated therewith by detecting and processing myoelectric signals unique to different areas of the gastrointestinal tract, such signals being detected by electrodes (18', 18'') carried by the distal end of the feeding tube (12, 12a) and transmitted by leads (34', 34'') extending through the feeding tube (12, 12a) to a monitor (22).
