Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9719667A1] A system and method are described in which myoelectric signals within a patient's body are detected by electrodes secured to the distal end of a tube, and are promptly displayed by some means and made available to a medical care provider while placing the tube in the patient. The signals detected indicate where the distal end of the tube is located within the gastrointestinal tract at any moment during the insertion of the tube into a patient's body.
