Abstract: A nasogastric tube placement and monitoring system is provided including a flexible nasogastric tube and numerous circuits that can be used alone or in combination. The circuits include a feedback initiator, a feedback receiver, and a clinician notifying device. By various means in the provided circuits, the feedback initiator provides information about the location of the distal end of the nasogastric tube. This information or data is received and analyzed by the feedback receiver that monitors the circuit, which then transmits an output to the clinician notifying device to alert or advise the attending clinician of this information. The data that is output supplies information about the location of the tube's distal end to the clinician, thereby assisting the clinician in placement of the nasogastric tube during intubation, as well as in monitoring proper tube placement after placement.
