Burn accidents due to the use of electrosurgical instruments (electrotomy, electrocoagulation) are uncommon but generally serious: explosion of inflammable anaesthetics or antiseptics, local tissue necrosis by an uncontrollable current or coagulation necrosis by a high current. An appropriate use of electrosurgical instruments based on the correct range of indications is the basis for the prevention of accidents.
使用电外科器械（电切、电凝）导致的烧伤事故虽不常见但通常较为严重：易燃麻醉剂或防腐剂爆炸、不可控电流造成局部组织坏死或强电流导致的凝固性坏死。基于正确适应证范围合理使用电外科器械是预防事故的基础。
