Quiz 5 Flashcards
A dispersive/return electrode is also commonly known as a:
Grounding pad
The electrosurgical circuit contains the following components: the electrosurgical generator, the patient, the active electrode, and all of the above
All of the above
The_____delivers concentrated electrosurgical energy to the surgical site
Active electrode
Electrosurgery can be categorized as:
Monopolar and bipolar
True/False: Monopolar electrosurgery requires a grounding pad
True
True/False: Bipolar electrosurgery does not require a grounding pad
True
There is a risk for burns and patient injury if the_____becomes partially disconnected
Return electrode
Electrosurgical_____mode, tissue is dissected with minimal coagulation; few vessels are sealed and there is minimal thermal spread
Cut
In______electrosurgery, the active and return electrodes are in the same surgical instrument
Bipolar
Select all of the benefits of Argon Bean Coagulation: Rapid, superficial homeostasis, Less tissue damage, Focused radiofrequency energy, Clear visualization, Or all of the above
All of the above
Electrosurgical________mode produces less heat but seals small blood vessels and controls localized bleeding
Coag
- Is a known electrosurgical complication in laparoscopic surgery: direct coupling, capacitive. Coupling, instrument insulation failure, and low urine output
Direct coupling, capacitive coupling, and instrument insulation failure
True/False: Surgical smoke plume is not generated when electrosurgical instruments are used
False
______ is a form of electrosurgery in which a flow of inert gas conducts energy to target issues
Argon beam coagulation
To prevent alternate-site burns during electrosurgical procedures, patients should not be in direct contact with? Metal operating tables, metal positioning devices, pooled liquids, or all of the above
All of the above
