Abstract

An insufflation apparatus intended to insufflate gas supplied from a gas supply source into a cavity of the human body through a gas insufflating pipe, comprising a switch valve for opening and closing a gas supply pipe extending from the gas supply source to the gas insufflating pipe, a cavity pressure measuring unit arranged in the gas supply pipe to measure the pressure in the body cavity, a pressure setting section for setting an intended pressure in the body cavity, an arithmetic unit for calculating the difference of a value measured by the cavity pressure measuring unit relative to the value of pressure set by the pressure setting section, and a changeover control unit for changing over the timings at which the switch valve is opened and closed on the basis of values thus calculated by the arithmetic unit.
