Abstract
Comparison of pressure measurement accuracy of five arthroscopic fluid pump systems
Highlights
Not attempt to anticipate the true intra-articular pressure and would not be expected to represent accurate intraarticular pressure given frictional flow losses in the cannula/tubing circuit
A more accurate approximation of ‘true’ pressure for each pump can be accomplished by adjusting the displayed setting by the pressure difference observed in this study
Our experience suggests that a true pressure of 4045 mmHg for the majority of a hip arthroscopic procedure provides a good visual working field while minimizing the risk of fluid extravasation into the soft tissues and is our recommended pressure range

Not attempt to anticipate the true intra-articular pressure and would not be expected to represent accurate intraarticular pressure given frictional flow losses in the cannula/tubing circuit. A more accurate approximation of ‘true’ pressure for each pump can be accomplished by adjusting the displayed setting by the pressure difference observed in this study.
