Electro surgicalunit or electroscalpel
The electroscalpel is a device that is present in approximately 80% of surgical processes, through electrical phenomena it is able to coagulate, flare, cut tissues according to established parameters, this instrument produces heat through an oscillatory electric current, concentrated in a small area; the current it uses is taken from the electrical network and transformed into direct current.
Electrosurgical unit for hospitals and clinics
The electrosurgical or electrosurgical unit, also called an electrosurgical unit, is a medical device that uses electrical phenomena to produce heat; its objective is to coagulate, glow, desiccate or cut tissues, depending on the established parameters. The production of heat is achieved through the passage of an oscillatory electric current, concentrated in a small area. The smaller the space in which the current flows, the higher the energy density at this point, resulting in higher and higher temperatures.
What is the importance of an electrosurgery or electrosurgical unit?
An electrosurgery unit or electrosurgical unit is a medical device that transmits energy in a controlled manner to living tissue for surgical purposes in order to cut, coagulate, fulgurate, and desiccate tissues, depending on the parameters established by the medical operator.
What is an electrocautery plate?
An electrocautery plate is a very important medical device when working with electrosurgery. This plate behaves as a neutral element that collects energy and returns it to the electrosurgical unit to close the circuit, this in order to avoid injury to the patient’s skin. That is, this equipment is a pad that allows you to make dirt on the body to avoid burns after dissipating electricity uniformly.
Care when using an electrosurgical unit
The electrosurgical unit is a medical equipment capable of transforming electrical energy into heat to cut or coagulate tissues and cauterize them simultaneously, using currents that develop at high frequencies usually above 200,000 Hz. In other words, this equipment is responsible for generating high-frequency alternating current from low-frequency electrical currents, with the aim of achieving a desired thermal effect on a biological tissue.
What is the pharadic effect?
The pharadic effect consists of neuromuscular stimulation when frequencies are applied below 100,000 Hz, which can generate an electric shock in the patient and become life-threatening. This occurs because the low or medium frequency alternating current causes stimulation in muscles and nerves, which can cause tetany, ventricular fibrillation, extrasystoles and even death.
Operation lamps: types and models
The lighting of an operating room is one of the essential aspects to consider to achieve success in any of the surgical procedures carried out in these places. This illumination is achieved through the operation lamps which are special lamps designed to illuminate the surgical area, thus providing a bright and uniform illumination centered on the operating table during the surgical act.
What is surgical light?
Surgical lights are lighting devices used primarily in surgery. These lamps provide a homogeneous light, without shadows, on the area to be operated on.
How are operating lamps used?
Operating room lamps are used to optimize and obtain a maximum clear display within the operating field, with the appropriate luminosity, allowing small objects to be perceived. In addition, they are made with incandescent type lights or LED lights, full of gas and halogen, to avoid the problem of radiation, caused by excessive heat avoids discomfort in the surgical area.
What are the parts of a cialitic lamp?
The cialitic lamp is an ideal equipment to project bright light in the operating room area, and with a whole range of mechanical and optical flexibilityr equeridas in cirugí a. These lamps are installed on the ceiling, and has transformers capable of converting the voltage lines required for the bulbs that compose it and projecting the necessary lighting for the safety of doctors, assistants and patients.
