A jejunostomy feeding device includes an elongate flexible member extending from a proximal end to a distal end and including a feeding lumen extending therethrough. The device also includes a first balloon attached to a distal portion of the flexible member. In addition, the device includes a second balloon attached to the flexible member proximally of the first balloon, the second balloon including a groove extending about at least a portion of a circumference thereof to anchor the second balloon within target anchoring tissue upon inflation thereof, wherein the first balloon and the second balloon are separated by a first distance selected so that when the second balloon is positioned at a target site within a target body lumen, the second balloon anchors the first balloon within the target body lumen positioned so that the first balloon presses against an inner wall of the body lumen to seal an entry point at which the flexible member enters the body lumen.

A gastric probe, which can be inserted through the nose of a patient, includes a hose for nasoenteral feeding of the patient and/or for discharging gastric juice. An extraction tube is secured to the hose and has, at a distal end, an extraction section which includes a plurality of openings. The extraction section, when inserted, is placed in the pharynx of the patient in order to extract saliva from the pharynx.

There is provided a system for managing reflux during an enteral feeding, comprising: (i) a non-transitory memory having stored thereon a code for execution by at least one hardware processor of a computing device, the code comprising: code for receiving electrical signals outputted by at least one reflux event sensor disposed within a digestive system of a patient; code for determining a gastric reflux event based on an analysis of the electrical signals; code for outputting instructions to pause enteral feeding of the patient by a feeding controller that regulates enteral feeding of the patient using an enteral feeding tube positioned within the digestive system of the patient; and (ii) an evacuation controller that directs back-flow of digestive contents from the digestive system of the patient to an external evacuation reservoir through an evacuation tube.

A patient monitoring, feeding, and mechanical breathing system, the system including an endotracheal probe including a first longitudinal member connected to a first camera and a semi-rigid longitudinal member inserted in an ET tube such that the first camera is aligned with a tip of the ET tube; an OG probe including a second longitudinal member configured to be inserted in an oral gastro (OG) tube, the second longitudinal member including a side camera, configured to be placed facing a window of the OG tube, wherein the side camera includes a tapered side; an enhanced OG probe, including a second camera and a motion sensor placed at the tip of the enhanced OG tube; a device communicatively coupled to the endotracheal, OG and enhanced OG probes, and having a screen configured to display images from any of the first camera, the side camera, and the second camera.

A heated patient tube assembly that carries and gradually warms fluids to a desired temperature and maintains the desired temperature until the fluids are delivered to a patient includes an elongated hollow tube; a heating assembly at least partially embedded within the tube for heating the tube and fluids carried in the tube; and a control assembly for controlling the heating assembly such that the fluids exit the tube at a desired and consistent temperature.

A jejunal system and apparatus are disclosed. The jejunal system includes a sheath having a proximal end and a distal end. A plurality of lumens extend through the sheath between the proximal end and the distal end. A first lumen of the plurality of lumens is provided with a first aperture set and a second aperture set. The first aperture set is in fluid communication with the second aperture set via the first lumen. The jejunal system is dimensioned and configured such that, when the system is inserted into a human body, the first aperture set is located in a small intestine of the human body, and the second aperture set is located in a stomach of the human body.

Methods, systems, and devices are described for fabricating, providing, and using an orogastric tube. The orogastric tube may have, among other things: a proximal end section; a distal end section opposite the proximal end section and having a flexible, resilient curved portion; at least one sump channel extending from the proximal end section along a pre-determined length of the orogastric tube into the distal end section; at least one suction channel extending from the proximal end section along a pre-determined length of the orogastric tube into the distal end section; and optionally at least one balloon channel extending from the proximal end section along a pre-determined length of the orogastric tube to the distal end section. The optional balloon channel is in communication with an expandable balloon in the distal end section; and a main channel encloses a pre-determined length of the sump channel, the suction channel, and, if present, the balloon channel.

The invention relates to a self-expandable tube having a catheter body with a double lumen in which one lumen allows for suctioning or decompression and another lumen for a feeding tube. A self-expandable portion collects secretions above the expandable portion or in the anatomical lumen and a suction source coupled to the self-expandable tube removes the secretions as is disclosed herein.
