| Popis: | Knowledge about electricity and electrical devices has increased over time, as has the adoption of their use by surgeons. Although technology has evolved since the introduction of the first ESU by Harvey Cushing, MD, and William Bovie, PhD, one of the same patient safety issues still existsdpatient injuries. A basic understanding of how electrosurgery works can help perioperative team members reduce injuries to patients and themselves. As the number of surgeries using minimally invasive techniques continues to increase, it is important for team members to understand that the same types of injuries can occur during both open and minimally invasive procedures. |
