DEVICE FOR DETERMINING TONGUE POSITION BY MEASURING NEGATIVE PRESSURE IN THE ORAL CAVITY, FOR MEASURING INHALATION PRESSURE IN THE NASOPHARYNGEAL CAVITY, AND ASSOCIATED TERMINAL

The invention relates to a device for determining the position of the tongue from the measurement of the vacuum pressure in an oral cavity generated by deglutition, comprising an intraoral shield intended for being arranged in the oral cavity, a conduit connectable at a first end to the intraoral shield and at a second end to a pressure gauge, in turn coupleable to a base, and an electronic module coupleable to the base. The electronic module is in data communication with the pressure gauge and comprises a processing unit, such that in an operating condition of the device, the intraoral shield is configured for blocking interdental spaces in the oral cavity and the conduit establishes fluid communication between the interior of the oral cavity and the pressure gauge, such that the negative pressure generated by deglutition is measured by said pressure gauge.
