ABSTRACT:
A device and method for determining internal fluid pressure in a body cavity during irrigation procedures is presented. The invention relies on noninvasive measurements on a calibrated surgical apparatus to determine the dynamic internal fluid pressure. Once the dynamic internal fluid pressure is known, a control signal can be generated to indicate needed changes to pressure-regulating equipment, such as a pump.
