1. Monitoring system for endoscopic treatments comprising
an evaluation unit and a guidewire, which comprises at least one measuring device, wherein the guidewire has a diameter between 1 mm and 1.5-mm,
wherein the evaluation unit receive data from the at least one measuring device, so as to monitor ambient conditions in a treatment zone, and
wherein the evaluation unit comprises a comparator, which compares the data with a comparison value to determine that the ambient conditions lie within an unfavorable range;
wherein the system is configured such that the comparison value is referred to a reference value acquired through the at least one measuring device in the treatment zone before a surgical intervention or an examination starts by an endoscope having been guided in the treatment zone;
wherein the evaluation unit comprises an input unit which is used to adjust the comparison value and wherein the evaluation unit comprises a plurality of comparison values;
wherein the evaluation unit is configured to generate a control signal for another device when the comparison value is exceeded;
wherein the another device is a suction rinsing system; and
wherein the comparison value is an absolute value and another comparison value is a patient specific value, wherein the least one measuring device is a relative pressure sensor, and at least one additional measuring device is an absolute pressure sensor, and wherein the relative pressure sensor is arranged at a distal end of the guidewire, while the absolute pressure sensor is arranged at a proximal end of the guidewire.
