Zusammenfassung:Embodiments generally relate to a device for monitoring air pressure in the body of a patient. The device comprises a tube comprising a feeding lumen; a sensor lumen positioned parallel to the feeding lumen; at least one sensor positioned in the sensor lumen; and at least one perforation positioned to expose the at least one sensor to an air pressure within the body of a patient when the device is positioned at least partially in the airway of the patient. The at least one sensor is configured to generate data related to the pressure to which the sensor has been exposed.
