Esophageal Pressure Probe with Feeding tube

The FluxMed Esophageal Pressure Probe with Feeding Tube combines esophageal pressure monitoring with an enteral feeding lumen in a single catheter, so that patients who require both do not need two nasogastric tubes.

Technical Characteristics

• Esophageal balloon for esophageal (Pes) and transpulmonary pressure measurement
• Enteral feeding lumen Fr 12, compatible feeding connectors ENFit
• Same balloon as the FluxMed Esophageal Pressure Probe: large working volume, fast response, no hysteresis
• Easy to insert; depth markings
  



Les invasive

Mechanically ventilated patients monitored with esophageal pressure usually also require enteral feeding. A separate feeding tube adds a second nasogastric catheter, with the associated discomfort and risk. This probe carries both functions in one device.

The measurement of the balloon has an acceptable

Measurement

The esophageal balloon is the same as in the standard FluxMed adult probe, with the dynamic response and working volume
