Medical electrolytic plate, anti-static science knowledge in operating room.
1. Background.
The operating room is an important place in the hospital, and it is an important place for doctors to perform operations on patients. During the operation, surgical instruments and operating tables and other items frequently touch the ground and walls, which is easy to produce static electricity, and if the static electricity cannot be channeled away in time, it will have an impact on the surgical process and even cause harm to the patient. Therefore, it is very important to use anti-static equipment correctly in the operating room.
2. What is static electricity.
Static electricity is a stationary charge that is generated by friction, contact, or induction, among other reasons. Static electricity has the characteristics of high voltage and low electricity and is usually found in insulators. In the operating room, static electricity can be generated by medical devices, walls, floors, etc.
3. The influence of static electricity on the operating room.
1.Interference with the surgical process: Static electricity can interfere with the surgeon's vision and hearing, affecting the surgical operation.
2.Disaster: If static electricity cannot be channeled away in time, it may accumulate to a certain extent and cause fire.
3.Harm to the patient: If the patient is wearing synthetic clothing, it may be electrostatically charged when touched.
Fourth, the principle and function of medical electrolytic plates.
A medical electrolytic plate is an anti-static device that eliminates static electricity from an object by exporting and introducing it to the ground through a conductive material. In the operating room, the electrolytic plate can eliminate static electricity on surgical instruments, walls, floors and other objects to ensure the smooth progress of the surgical process. At the same time, it prevents blood and other fluids on the operating table from contaminating the floor and avoiding cross-infection.
5. Methods of using medical electrolytic plates.
1.Installation: Install electrolytic plates on the floor of the operating room to ensure that the floor is free of debris and moisture.
2.Grounding: Connecting a metal object in the operating room to the electrolytic plate to form a complete grounding loop.
3.Use: During the procedure, care should be taken to avoid contact with the edge of the electrolytic plate when using the medical device to avoid sparks.
4.Maintenance: Regularly check the conductivity of the electrolytic plate, and replace it in time if it is damaged.
6. Other precautions.
1.Avoid placing sharp or conductive items on the electrolytic plate.
2.Avoid using devices with strong electromagnetic fields such as power tools near electrolytic plates.
3.Healthcare workers should know how to properly use medical electrolytic plates and receive regular training.
4.Before surgery, the electrolytic plate should be checked for normal operation, and if there is any abnormality, it should be dealt with in time.
7. Summary. Proper use of medical electrolytic plates can effectively prevent static electricity in the operating room from interfering with and harming the surgical process. Healthcare professionals should understand and master how to use the electrolytic plate, and regularly check and maintain the electrolytic plate to ensure that it is functioning properly. At the same time, medical staff should also be aware of other precautions to ensure surgical safety and patient health.
