Unintended stray energy from monopolar instruments: beware the dispersive electrode cord
2016
Background
The monopolar instrument emits stray radiofrequency energy from its cord when activated. This is a source of unintended thermal injury to patients. Stray energy emitted from the dispersive electrode cord has not been studied. The purpose of this study was to determine whether, and to what extent, the dispersive electrode cord contributes to unintentional energy transfer and describe practical steps to minimize risk.
