Abstract

See full text

A system for assessing a pressure profile of a gastrointestinal (GI) tract is provided. The system includes a flexible tube defining a first lumen and an electrically-conductive liquid contained within the first lumen. At least one restriction is restriction formed on the flexible tube to constrict but not completely occlude the first lumen. The system further includes a sensor system configured to monitor an electrical property of the electrically-conductive fluid over time and to generate a report of pressure changes in the GI tract by correlating changes in the electrical property with the pressure changes in the GI tract.
