Electrosurgery in perioperative practice.
No series looking at basics in the perioperative environment would be complete without a good look at electrosurgery. And who better to inform us than Paul Wicker, who gives us all the information and advice we need to maintain patient and staff safety whilst this potentially dangerous but essential apparatus is in use. Paul also answers some of the most common questions about diathermy and its use, and I have certainly been asked all of these myself over the past couple of years. Thanks, Paul.
