Electrosurgery: CQM-Simulation without Volunteers
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Neutral electrodes (NE) are used in electro surgery for the return of the current to the ESU (electrosurgical unit); they are placed on the patient and monitored by a CQM (Contact Quality Monitoring) safety system that is incorporated in the ESU. In the paper the benefits and drawbacks of different CQM system are described. The Standard IEC 60601-2-2 requests volunteer experiments for NE testing; an alternative is the swaroTEST © testing device, that conducts both the temperature measurement under standard load according to the Standard and the simulation of CQM systems. The swaroTEST © thus replaces all volunteer experiments stipulated in the Standard.

متن کاملPhysics-based Real Time Laparoscopic Electrosurgery Simulation
While physics-based modeling of electrosurgical procedures is essential for most laparoscopic simulation systems, we present such a system for the first time in this paper. We have implemented a physics-based model of electrosurgery to control the temperature distribution on the tissue as a function of time. Then, we evaluate the algorithm within a complete graphics-haptics-physics-based system.
متن کاملDual-sided electrosurgery handpiece for simultaneous tissue cutting and coagulation: first report on a conceptual design validated by an animal experiment
OBJECTIVE To introduce and evaluate the safety of a novel dual-sided electrosurgery handpiece design for simultaneous tissue cutting and coagulation. METHODS We designed a prototype double-sided handpiece allowing automatic switching between two electrodes with a simple handpiece flip. The concept of the system as a surgical instrument was assessed by an animal experiment. RESULTS The skin ...

Accepted: February 20, 2009 SUMMARY A case of massive rhinophyma that produced significant functional and cosmetic difficulties was treated using electrosurgery and carbon dioxide laser. Minimal bleeding occurred during the operative procedure despite grotesque enlargement and high degree of vascularity of the skin and soft tissue. Using this technique, restoration of normal function and excell...
