EP50 – Suction & Scavenging, Electrical Safety & Diathermy | Anaesthetic Primary Topic | Equipment & Safety | CT10
Episode 4
Wednesday, 25 March, 2026

In today's Part 2 of 'Equipment and Safety' I cover "Suction & Scavenging, Electrical Safety & Diathermy." This was a much longer episode then anticipated! I start first with reviewing suction (01:06) then scavenging (08:23) with an additional part on environmental impact (14:53). Then we go into detail regarding electrical safety in the theatre (19:29). To end our LO's I look at how diathermy works (34:55) and LASER (41:55). Luckily there weren't many SAQs to cover today (47:55) but they all have low pass rates. Thanks for listening!
