Claim 39:
40. A device for insertion into a stomach of a patient for use with enteral feeding, comprising:
an indwelling tube having a length;
one or more impedance sensors attached along the length of the indwelling tube, wherein the one or more impedance sensors are configured to detect an electrical property of gastric contents;
a controller in communication with the one or more impedance sensors, wherein the controller is configured to determine measurements of a volume of gastric contents by correlating the electrical property of gastric contents to the volume of gastric contents such that the controller provides guidance for patient care based on the measurements of the volume of gastric contents, and wherein the controller is programmed to compare the measurements of the volume of gastric contents against aggregate measurements provided by the controller of an additional volume of gastric contents obtained from other patients having profile data correlated to the patient.
