Electrosurgical knives are essential medical devices commonly used in most surgeries or procedures to minimize damage to surrounding tissues. However, there are associated risks, such as burns, electric shocks, and fires, which pose dangers to both patients and users. Updating and standardizing the procedure for using electrosurgical knives, as well as assessing pre-intervention risks to implement preventive measures, is crucial for healthcare staff.
