Ventricular fibrillation caused by electrocoagulation in monopolar mode during laparoscopic subphrenic mass resection

摘要

BackgroundMonopolar is usually a safe and effective electrosurgical unit used in laparoscopic general surgery. However, it can cause adverse outcomes and even cardiac arrest. We present a video of laparoscopic subphrenic mass resection using monopolar coagulation during which ventricular fibrillation occurred and from which the patient was successfully resuscitated.
