Abstract
A physiological sensor is located within the airway of the subject's body, such as for measuring barometric pressure and communicating this value to a blood pressure or other monitoring device, which can derive gauge pressure using the barometric pressure and a measured absolute pressure within the body. The physiological sensor may also detect one or more other physiological parameters such as air flow, sound, or a chemical property. It may be anchored within the airway with the ability to communicate wirelessly to one or more other medical devices, such as an implanted cardiac function management device. Methods of use are also described.
