Electricity is all around us. But do you really understand how it works? Do you really understand how we use it in the OR and not cause electrocutions? This session will provide a foundational base of electrosurgery in the OR to help surgeons understand how their instruments work and how to best use their instruments to safely care for patients.

At the end of this webinar learners will be able to: 

• Implement appropriate and remove inappropriate electrosurgical terminology
• Illustrate essential differences between electrosurgical waveforms
• Choose appropriate applications of electrosurgery during procedure
