CH 6 Biomedical Science and Minimally Invasive Surgery

First generation robots

Used in retinal surgeries

Four interactions of laser with tissue: absorption, transmission, reflection, or scattering

An improperly placed grounding pad cannot be one of the causes of a severe patient burn

A typical hybrid room is approximately

This laser produces visible blue or green light

Robots help control cost of healthcare

All are distention methods EXCEPT

This laser utilizes yttrium-aluminum-garnet solid crystals

Argon gas delivers the electrical current to the target tissue

Argon gas produces less vaporized tissue plume than traditional electrosurgery

All of the procedures would most likely be done in a hybrid room EXCEPT

Degrees of freedom include all of the following EXCEPT

Components include generator, optional foot pedal, cords, an active electrode, and a patient return electrode
