The invention relates to a procedure for the perfusion of body cavities with a fluid led from a dispenser reservoir 3 via a perfusion line 10 and a medical instrument 6. Pump 4 is connected with the perfusion line 10, a pressure sensor 5 is connected between pump 4 and medical instrument 6 to perfusion line 10, and an adjustment and measurement electronic system 12 is connected to pressure sensor 5 and pump 4. n To build up, maintain, and measure as precisely as possible a preselected and precisely determined pressure in the body cavity, according to the invention the adjustment and measurement electronic system 12 determines the actual pressure in body cavity 1 by evaluating the pressure P IST measured by pressure sensor 5, the volume flow V supplied by pump 4, and the conductance G of the perfusion line 9 between pressure sensor 5 and instrument 6 and conductance G of instrument 6, and the pressure P SOLL in body cavity 1 is maintained constant at preset level P SOLL by continuous adjustment of the output of pump 4 with due consideration for conductance G. |
