Abstract
During endoscopy, measurements at the rinsing inlet overestimated the ventricular pressure by â¼50 mm Hg during heavy rinsing, whereas measurements at the rinsing outlet underestimated the pressure by â¼50 mm Hg. An electronic tip sensor or a pressure capillary tube placed at the distal end of the lumen of the rinsing channel of the endoscope did not interfere with rinsing flow and produced measurements that were equal to ventricular pressures.
