 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 11 High-frequency electric surgical knife in the accident caused injuries and preventive measures [Key Words] high-frequency electric surgical knife accident prevention measures High-frequency electric knife is a scalpel can be organized to replace mechanical cutting of electronic surgical instruments, which use blades at high current electrical discharge to the surface energy generated by rapid vaporization of tissue, freezing or cutting so as to achieve the purpose of medical procedures such as [1 ]. electrosurgical cutting speed, a good hemostatic effect, simple, safe and convenient in clinical use of high-frequency electric knife can greatly shorten the operation time, reduce blood loss and transfusion patients, thus reducing the cost of complications and surgical Therefore, high-frequency electric knife widely in clinical applications. but in use, such as failure to operate a point of order, likely to cause accidental injury, increasing the suffering of patients, causing conflicts and even lead to patient medical disputes, but also hurt the surgery staff itself. now in the high frequency electric knife during surgery due to accidental injuries and preventive measures are summarized below. An electrode at the skin burn Electrode burn 1.1 The main reasons for the role of electrode because of its own area, so that high-frequency current per unit area can be substantially dispersed into the body within the current organization of the human body is very small thermal effects, will not burn the skin. Electrode burns electrode was mainly due to surgery returned from the current density is too large, so that the electrodes were affixed to put parts produced a stream, the resulting burns [2]. This is caused by high frequency electric knife common causes of accidental injury [3-5 ]. But when the electrode wire breakage or distortion of the position at the rugged, if patients experience surgery or move operation can result in incorrec
