Problems solved by technology

However, clinicians are forced to use trial and error when setting respiratory support levels due to the possibility of unexplained leaks within the system
Delivering pressure that is too high or too low can have serious health consequences for the baby
Leads to slower physical growth, longer NICU stays, and higher mortality

Embodiment Construction

[0103] Systems, methods and devices for determining throat and lower esophageal sphincter pressure are disclosed herein.

[0104] The most common lung problem in preterm infants is Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS), which remains the most common single cause of death in the first year of neonatal life (Copland, I et al. in American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology 2002 Understanding the mechanisms of Infant Respiratory Distress and Chronic Lung Disease published in Annals Vol. 26(3), pp. 261-265).

[0105] RDS is caused by inadequate pulmonary surfactant production and immature lung architecture. Surfactants are used to lower the surface tension on the surface of the alveoli, preventing the lung from collapsing during exhalation. Infants with RDS have difficulty expanding their lungs due to limited surfactant production, thus preventing the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide from occurring (Copland, I et al. in American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Mo...

Abstract

Embodiments generally relate to a device for monitoring air pressure in the body of a patient. The device comprises a tube comprising a feeding lumen; a sensor lumen positioned parallel to the feeding lumen; at least one sensor positioned in the sensor lumen; and at least one perforation positioned to expose the at least one sensor to an air pressure within the body of a patient when the device is positioned at least partially in the airway of the patient. The at least one sensor is configured to generate the data related to the pressure to which the sensor has been exposed.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to Australian Provisional Patent Application No. 2019900757, filed 7 March 2019, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. technical field [0003] Embodiments generally relate to systems, devices, and methods for determining throat and / or lower esophageal sphincter pressure. In particular, embodiments relate to systems for determining throat pressure in neonates undergoing non-invasive respiratory support via high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC), continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), or other interfaces for ultimate understanding of lung pressure , devices and methods; or systems, devices and methods for determining lower esophageal sphincter pressure in neonates fed by a gastric tube for active management of risk of gastroesophageal reflux. Background technique [0004] Although lungs are necessary for survival outside the womb, a baby's lungs are...
