Abstract
An apparatus for insufflating a body cavity with an insufflation gas comprising an insufflation device for delivering the insufflation gas to the body cavity. To detect possibly critical states in the body cavity, the apparatus is designed to withdraw a measuring gas from the body cavity. A measuring device having a gas sensor serves for measuring an additional substance contained in the measuring gas in addition to the insufflation gas and for outputting a measuring signal as a function of the additional substance.
