What is argon coagulation in plasma?
Argon coagulation in plasma is a surgery used to stop bleeding without touching targeted tissue. The process is used as an alternative to cauterize blood vessels or by laser and involves the use of a probe that burns an argon gas that closes the electric current when it hits biological tissues. The tip of the device can be placed up to 0.39 inches (1 centimeter) above the surface and the thermal energy can cut up to 0.78 to 1.18 inches (2 to 3 centimeters) deep. This procedure is used to stop bleeding during surgery or endoscopic procedures, breaking tumors and clear tissue growth from stents. It also changes the protein so that coagulation occurs on the spot. In addition to the probe, there is a tungsten wire inside the probe, which is able to produce 6,000 volts of electricity that creates a source of ignition and ionizes argon gas. The use of surgical is also included during the procedure also includes electro -surgical generator, argon gas tanks, foot pedal and control panel. It is possible that the level of powerU will be modified during Argon coagulation in plasma and to increase Argon flow to move residues or residual blood from the point of view.
During the coagulation of Argon in the plasma, doctors place the grounding pad on the lower back of the patient to protect them from electric impact. The gas is fired for just two or three seconds at a time from a probe that has a diameter of 0.09 inches (2.3 millimeters), but could be burned for longer intervals to achieve deeper massive bleeding or breaking large tumors. The lesion may not always be in direct view and bleeding may be stopped, which is not directly in front of the range or which is around the fold in the tissue.
Complications have occurred with Argon coagulation in plasma, including induction of pneumonia similar conditions when used in the airways and lungs. The fires in the airways are rare and the scope burns can be prevented by preventing it from preventingontaktu between her and the gas probe. In addition to operations including airways, the coagulation of Argon was used in the upper and lower gastrointestinal tractions to remove tumors and polyps. The depth of low penetration of Argon coagulation in plasma can lead to better safety than alternative procedures.
