Historical Background Papyrus Edwin Smith (2800 B.C.)
Historical Background • 2800 B.C. “Papyrus Edwin Smith“ first reference to use of heat as healing medium (glowing wood) • 400 B.C. Hippokrates: glowing iron to open abscesses and stop bleeding • Approx. 1790 Galvani: basics of electro physiology • Approx. 1850 Introduction of galvano cautery (hot platinum wire) • Approx. 1890 Tesla and D‘Arsonval investigated nerve stimulation by high frequency AC • 1907-1912 Therapeutic use of HF current: diathermy, electro- coagulation, HF cutting, fulguration • 1920 – 1930 Intro of tube generators for electrosurgery (Bovie) • Approx. 1970 Use of transistor generators
Historical Background “Bovie“ electrosurgical generator (until 1950)
Principles of Electrosurgery • The effects of electric current on biological tissue Electric Current Faradic effect Thermal effect Electrolytic effect
Principles of Electrosurgery Electrolytic effect Direct current is not suitable for Electrosurgical procedures. In addition to the desired thermal effect, is the undesirable electrolytic effect, producing acids, and bases at the electrode poles. Danger of corrosive/acid burns.
Principles of Electrosurgery Faradic effect Alternating current with low frequencies which are normally used in every household (50-60 Hz) is not suitable for electrosurgical procedures. In addition to the desired thermal effect, is the undesirable faradic effect resulting in neuromuscular stimulation. Danger of muscle contractions and cardiac arrest.
Principles of Electrosurgery • Faradic Effect The sensitivity of the nervous system to electricity decreases with increasing frequency (from a certain frequency onwards). The current (I) that is necessary to cause a neuromuscular stimulation increases with frequency (f). Above approx. 100 -200 kHz of electric current, there is no noticeable nerve stimulation.
Principles of Electrosurgery • Thermal Effect The electrolytic and faradic effect can be avoided by using high frequencies of approx. 100 – 200KHz 100 – 200Khz = Thermal Effect
Principles of Electrosurgery • The Thermal Effects depends on temperature: Up to approx. 40°C: No significant cell damage. Above approx. 40°C: Reversible cell damage, depending on duration of exposure. Above approx. 49° C: Irreversible cell damage (denaturation). Above approx. 60-70°C: Coagulation (clotting). Collagens are converted to glucose. Above approx. 100°C: Phase transition from liquid to vapor of cellular water. The tissue rapidly dries out: desiccation (dehydration). Above approx. 200°C: Carbonisation (carbo = coal). Medical pathological burns of the 4th degree.
Thermal Tissue Effects Coagulation (Clotting) Vaporization (Boiling) Carbonization (Charring)
Coagulation Temperatures of 60 – 70°C lead to a slow boiling of the cellular fluid through the cell membrane and collagens convert to glucose. As a result of these effects, the cell shrinks and several cells link to form chains. A "welding effect" is initiated which stops the bleeding.
Vaporisation Temperatures of above 100°C lead to the rapid evaporation of the fluid within the cell membrane. As a result, the cell membrane ruptures forming vapor around the electrode, which in turn involves other cells lying in the path of the electrode as it moves.
HF Cutting The thermal effect of the cutting procedure depends on: • Cutting speed • Shape/size of electrode • Spark intensity • Condition of electrode • Tissue properties
HF Cutting Cutting Speed The thermal effect decreases with increasing cutting speed.
HF Cutting Electrode Shape The thermal effect increases with increasing surface of the electrode.
HF Cutting Voltage Level (Effect) The thermal effect increases with increasing voltage level.
Carbonization Carbonization is the result of further heating of desiccated tissue. The solid contents of the tissue are reduced to carbon.
HPCS High Power Cut Support
Features & Benefits • High Power Cut Support (HPCS) • Optimises cutting procedures by applying high power to support immediate spark without initial delays and reduces the risk of mechanical cutting • Leads to higher effectiveness of cutting procedures
High Power Cut Support (HPCS) very high power within 3 ms Duration of HPCS: until spark is detected; max. 50 ms HPCS in PulseCut mode All cutting modes are supported by the high power cut support
FSM Fast Spark Monitor
Features & Benefits • Fast Spark Monitor (FSM) • Allows the application of output powers that are as low as possible and as much as necessary • Significantly reduces leakage currents, optimises tissue effects and protects ET instruments
Cs HF generator HF current Control cutting direction Signalprocessing DC voltage measurement Set value (Cut 1,2,3) sparks Fast Spark Monitor (FSM) When cutting tissue, an electric arc is generated between the tissue and the electrode. This arc generates a DC voltage across the capacitor (Cs). This DC voltage is used to control the output voltage.
LPS Leakage Protection System
Features & Benefits • Leakage Protection System (LPS) • Permanently measures the leakage current to earth • S-cord obsolete i.e. simpler handling and cost-savings • Equals highest safety to user and patient • Produces an optic and acoustic signal if the current is too high
Leakage Protection System (LPS) Measurement ofdifference betweenIin and Iout
CQM Contact Quality Manager
Features & Benefits • Contact Quality Manager The Contact Quality Monitor (CQM) analyses continuously the contact resistance of the neutral electrode (split type), ensuring a safe application and minimising the risk of thermal injuries to the patient. The Contact Quality Monitor status is continuously displayed by optical indicators.
