Improper use of HF current can cause endogenous and
exogenous burns as well as explosions.
 Carry out electrosurgical procedures only with

Endogenous burns are burns caused by high local
current density in the tissue of the patient.
Causes can include:
•
With direct skin contact by HF cables, capacitive
effects can lead to burns.
Exogenous burns are burns caused by the heat of
ignited liquids or gases. Even explosions are possible,
through detonation.
Causes can include:
•
Ignition of skin cleaning solution and disinfectant.
•
Ignition of anaesthetic gases.
•
Ignition of insufflated gases.
 Only insufflate incombustible gases!
•
Ignition of endogenous gases (e.g. in the intestine).
