ASGE/JGES Advanced ESD (On-demand)| July 2023-Advanced Electrosurgical Generator Settings for ESD

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker discusses the electrosurgical generator and its use in medical procedures. They explain that the generator is effective and does not require extensive knowledge, only an understanding of Ohm's law and Joule's law. The voltage, resistance, and current are important factors in generating power and controlling heat in the procedure. The speaker emphasizes the importance of current availability for optimal energy output. They discuss the use of voltage-controlled models in the generator and how voltage control affects coagulation depth and cutting outcomes. They also mention the use of stepwise incisions and the importance of maintaining control and stability during the procedure. The speaker explains different modes of coagulation and the relationship between voltage and coagulation depth. They recommend adjusting the watt level by at least 20% to achieve desired effects. The speaker concludes by discussing the benefits of the BIO3 generator and its precise sect mode, which automatically adjusts modes based on tissue impedance. They emphasize the need to control device speed and conduction duration. The video is presented by an unidentified speaker and does not provide any additional credits.
