Abstract:
There is provided a system for measuring impedance at multiple locations within a body of a patient, comprising: an elongated probe sized and shaped for being disposed within a cavity of the body of the patient or in an extracorporeal position, at least one pair of parallel transmission wires disposed along a length of the elongated probe, a plurality of impedance elements, each connected to the at least one pair of parallel transmission wires at a respective spaced apart location along the length of the elongated probe in a ladder arrangement, a transmitter configured for injecting an electrical signal to the at least one pair of parallel transmission wires, a receiver configured for measuring a plurality of reflections of the electrical signal from the plurality of impedance elements, and a processor configured for computing an impedance value for each of the impedance elements according to the measured plurality of reflections.

Claim (Index 3):
The system of  claim 1 , wherein the elongated probe comprises a naso/orogastric tube for being disposed within the esophagus of the patient so that at least a distal end thereof is in the stomach lumen of a patient while at least one segment thereof is in the esophagus, wherein the naso/orogastric tube includes at least one feeding channel for conducting a feeding content within at least one feeding opening located in the distal end, wherein the processor is configured for at least one of: (i) monitoring for impedance values indicative of reflux in the esophagus, (ii) monitoring for impedance values indicative of displacement of the naso/orogastric tube within the esophagus and tracking location of the naso/orogastric tube, (iii) generating instructions for execution by an enteral feeding controller for pausing of the enteral feeding when the impedance values indicative of reflux in the esophagus are detected.
