Electrosurgical units
- A pacemaker’s main function is to regulate the heart rate by sending electrical signals whenever the natural pulses are below normal or safe frequencies.
- A pacemaker will not send pulses when the heart rate is faster than normal.
- There are 3 types: single chamber (right ventricle), dual chamber (right ventricle and right atrium), biventricular (right and left ventricles).
- The lifespan of pacemakers will depend on the periodicity of the electrical pulses, but for most devices it sits between 10 and 15 years.

How do they work?
A pacemaker is composed of a pulse generator, and one or two leads with an electrode each.
Advantages and Limitations
- Pacemakers with wireless-remote monitoring systems would provide information about specific patients, allowing the medic to tailor a pacemaker which best benefits them
- Resistance to external sources of noice and interference (electromagnetic based) could allow pateients to safely partake in other medical procedures (like MRI)
- Extended battery power would reduce recurrent surgey costs and dangers for patients
- The most common application is regulation for those with bradycardia (slow heart rate)
- Some design monitor the patient’s heart activity for irregular patterns and tachycardias (increased heart rate)
- Preventing heart failure for those who have already experienced it

Defibrillators
- Defribillators are mainly needed to correct or prevent arrhythmias.
- There are 3 types of defibrillators: Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs), Wearable Cardioverter Defribillators (WCDs)
- AEDs are portable, battery-operated devices that check a person's heartbeat and send an electrical shock to restore it to normal levels.
- ICDs are placed through surgery in the chest area, they deliver high-intensity shocks to slow or speed up abnormal heart rates. It can also record the heart’s electrical activity.
- WCDs work through sensors attached to the skin, normally constructed into a vest that can be worn under clothes.

Defibrillators Function
Electrosurgical units
- Heat is generated through high-frequency electrical alternating currents.
- It is used routinely to cut, coagulate, dissect, fulgurate, ablate and shrink the tissue.

Electrosurgical units function
- There are two main waveforms:
monopolar electrosurgery
Bipolar electrosurgery
Advantages and Limitations
- Increase its resistance to electromagnetic interference and compatibility with other medical devices to avoid erroneous shocks.
- Increase of successful resuscitation from 90% to somewhere closer to 100%.
- Achieve greater longevity for the step-up transformers to reduce the maintenance costs of defibrillators.
- Restoration of normal heart rate during life-threatening arrhythmia.
- Measurement of heart rate and electrical activity through ICDs.
- Prevention of an irregular heartbeat from developing into a more serious complication.
- Allowing patients to return to physically active and demanding activites (excluding contact sports).
Aplications & improvements
Old vs Modern
- It can allow the physician to achieve the desired effect due to the different modes of application. Different waveforms can either cut or coagulate a tissue.
- Electrosurgery minimizes bleeding and increases precision during application
- Offers a relatively fast method for tissue resection or ablation
- It is not compatible with other implants due to the heat produced and the damage it may cause to these.
- Use of these devices requires extreme precision and preparation by the physician, making it inaccessible for a lot of the population.
- Lack of maintenance may cause accidental burns due to insulation failure.

Advantages and Limitations
+ info
- Reducing possible complications and side effects through automatic and efficient waveform and current control during surgery
- Improve cutting precision, reduce thermal injury, andpresent a more cost-effective minimally invasive surgery
- Monitoring systems which deactivate whenever a dispersion element is not in contact and could cause burns
- Control bleeding and rapidly dissect soft tissue
- Laparascopic procedures to treat endometrial and cervical cancer
- Management of polycystic ovary syndrome which causes infertility
- Removal of skin lesions (non-cancerous moles, warts, etc.)
