The first use of an electrosurgical generator in an operating room occurred on October 1, 1926. The surgery was performed by Dr. Harvey Williams Cushing
Diathermy: Ø Ø • • Radiosurgery Electrosurgery: Monopolar Bipolar
Diathermy In the natural sciences, the term diathermy means "electrically induced heat" and is commonly used for muscle relaxation. It is also a method of heating tissue electromagnetically or ultrasonically for therapeutic purposes in medicine
Radiosurgery is a technology used to treat a variety of soft tissue conditions, from the skin to deeper . tissues Instead of using a scalpel, radio waves . do the cutting Radiosurgery technology is somewhat similar to laser or electrosurgery, but it uses a different part of the electromagnetic spectrum than . either Instead of using light waves (like laser), and instead of using hightemperature, low-frequency waves (such as with electro-surgery), radiosurgery uses low-temperature, high-energy waves in the radio bandwidth. (See the chart below)
What's the benefit of using radio waves instead of laser or electrosurgery? First, the low-temperature waves used by radiosurgery means that tissues are not burned like they are with. electrosurgery And as you can see on the chart below, the Ellman radiosurgery machine's high energy waves penetrate much less deeply into peripheral tissue (0. 02 mm) than CO 2 laser (0. 5 mm), Holmium laser (0. 05 mm), or electrosugery (1. 0 mm) . units
Electrosurgery is the application of a high-frequency electric current to human (or other animal) tissue as a means to remove lesions, staunch bleeding, or cut tissue. Electrosurgery can be used to cut, coagulate, desiccate, or fulgurate tissue
Monopolar electrosurgical modalities There are two commonly used The. bipolar and monopolar : or circuit topologies is used less often, but is easier to bipolar modality explain. Voltage is applied to the patient using a with one tine connected to one pole , forceps special of the A. C. voltage source and the other tine connected to the other pole of the voltage source. When a piece of tissue is held by the forceps, a high frequency electrical current flows from one to the other forceps tine, through the intervening tissue. The direction of this current alternates at high frequencies, but heating takes place no matter which direction the current flows. In this manner, the intervening tissue is heated
bipolar the patient lies on monopolar modality In the a relatively large , return electrode top of the metal plate or a relatively large flexible metalized plastic pad which is connected to the other electrode of the A. C. current source. to probe , The surgeon uses a single, pointed make contact with the tissue. The electrical current flows from the probe tip, through the body and then to the return electrode, from which it flows back to the electrosurgical generator. It might seem that the monopolar modality would cause heating of the entire body cavity
onopolar Bipolar
Other Electrosurgical modalities: fulgeration with spark gap For relatively low-powered monopolar electrosurgery performed on conscious outpatients (such as in a dermatologist's fulguration or spark gap office), the modalitymay be used
Prevention of unintended burns in anesthetized patients To prevent unintended burns, the skin should be clean and dry and a conductive jelly should be used to enhance contact. Proper electrical grounding practices must be followed in the electrical wiring of the building. It is also recommended to use a newer electrosurgical unit that includes alarms for ground circuit interruption
Electrosurgical waveforms For cutting, a continuous single frequency sine wave is generated. This produces rapid heating For coagulation, the sine wave is turned on and off in rapid succession. The overall effect is a slower heating process, which causes cells to coagulate
Safety Alert: DO NOT use or prescribe shortwave diathermy, microwave diathermy or therapeutic ultrasound diathermy (all now referred to as diathermy) for patients implanted with any type of Medtronic neurostimulation system
These treatments are typically used for the following purposes: relieve pain, stiffness and muscle spasms reduce joint contractures reduce swelling and pain after surgery promote wound healing
Electromagnetic heat should not be used over any areas that are wet or filled with fluid or metal objects. The risk for burning is too great. These include: *eyes *a pregnant uterus *blisters *moist skin or clothing *perspiration *wound dressings *intrauterine device *a pacemaker
