ASGE/JGES Advanced ESD (Live and Virtual)| July 14-15 2023-Advanced Electrosurgical Generator Settings for ESD

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker discusses the use of an electrosurgical generator and the importance of understanding its technology. They explain that the generator can be very effective if used correctly, and only basic knowledge of Ohm's law and Joule's law is needed. The voltage, resistance, and current are key factors in outputting power, especially when dealing with low resistance situations such as bleeding or water. The speaker emphasizes the importance of current availability in these situations. They explain that the machine now uses voltage control models, as controlling the voltage allows for precise coagulation depth and cutting outcomes. The machine measures and controls the voltage through feedback mechanisms. Different modes and effects are discussed, and the speaker recommends the use of the precise sect mode for those unsure of which mode or effect to select. They also discuss the importance of device speed and conduction duration in achieving desired outcomes. The speaker concludes by encouraging attendees to enjoy their hands-on experience in the afternoon. No credits were mentioned in the video.
