“…Energy‐generating devices, especially ESUs, are among the most commonly used pieces of equipment in the perioperative setting 1 . Though the use of these devices provides patients and perioperative personnel with benefits, such as quicker dissection with less bleeding, proper precautions should be taken to help ensure their use does not have unintended effects 8 . For example, the nurse in the scenario addressed well‐known risk factors by ensuring the patient was not wearing jewelry and by documenting and communicating the presence of an implant 5 .…”

“…Minimally invasive surgery provides patients with an option that shortens healing time, decreases scarring, decreases hospitalization time, and is associated with less pain than open procedures 12 . In the scenario, the RN circulator ensured that the ESU dispersive pad placement was away from the site of the implant on a well‐muscled area free of tissue damage to protect the patient from return electrode burns 8 . Unfortunately, the root cause analysis revealed a lapse in the inspection and maintenance of insulation of the reusable instruments, resulting in unintended thermal damage and causing significant injury to the patient.…”

“…Um eletrodo ativo passa a corrente através do tecido para criar o efeito desejado, e então a corrente sai do tecido através do eletrodo de retorno, que completa o circuito elétrico e retorna a corrente para o gerador. A resistência do tecido à passagem da corrente converte a energia elétrica em calor, resultando nos efeitos térmicos 5,6,7 .…”

“…No corte ou vaporização utiliza-se uma corrente elétrica ininterrupta de Brazilian Journal of Health Review, Curitiba, v. 5, n.5, p. 20263-20273, sep./oct., 2022 baixa tensão para atingir a vaporização das células. O corte é realizado pelo eletrodo ativo sem tocar o tecido, gerando faíscas e promovendo hemostasia imediata 6,7 . Na coagulação, uma corrente interrompida de alta tensão é entregue ao tecido, podendo ser realizada no modo de contato ou no modo de spray 7 .…”
