OPTIMAL ELECTROSURGICAL POWER SETTINGS TO PREVENT BURNS DURING LAPAROSCOPY

在美国收购强大的电动外科发电机 手术室已经确定了需要新的指导方针来 防止病人受伤。腹腔镜术需要非常 与许多其他手术相比，电外科手术能量很少 程序。烧伤病人的胃肠道被烧伤 来自NIH以外机构的外科医生强调有必要 重新审视新一代发电的电力设置指南 电外科机器。目前的指导方针是在 二十世纪七十年代初和中期，当电外科机器 都没有那么强大。我们将测量功率输出 新一代电外科机器和建立 关于腹腔镜手术功率设置的建议。 美国医学会的临床经验和指南 妇科腹腔镜师将被纳入。

The acquisition of powerful electrosurgical generators in the operating room has established the need for new guidelines to prevent patient injuries. Laparocopic procedures require very little electrosurgical energy in contrast with many other operative procedures. A burn to a patient's gastro-intestinal tract by a surgeon from an institution other than NIH emphasizes the need for reexamination of power setting guidelines for new generation electrosurgical machines. Current guidelines were established in the early and mid nineteen seventies when electrosurgical machines were not nearly as powerful. We will measure the power output of the new-generation electrosurgical machines and establish recommendations for power settings for laparoscopic procedures. Clinical experience and guidelines of the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists will be incorporated.
