Inadvertent electrocautery burns can occur in any patient under general anesthesia. Here we report on a 30-yearold man who underwent arthroscopic surgery on his hip under general anesthesia and experienced a deep second-degree burn from the grounding pad. Our aim is to increase awareness of this avoidable risk associated with electrocautery equipment among surgeons and anesthesiologists. Unexplained hypertension during surgery under general anesthesia may suggest an electrocautery burn. Over the...

Gabriele F Silveira, Isadora AC Fraga, Larissa RM Castro, José Lucas UM Gomes, Marina A Delgado

Article Type: Narrative Review | First Published: March 30, 2022

Surgical interventions and the anesthesia chosen for the procedure induce immunosuppression in the perioperative period, triggering the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, favoring tumor growth and recurrence. However, it must be clarified what actually influences immunomodulation: the surgical technique, the anesthetic used, the type of tumor or a combination of all of them. Both the surgery and anaesthetic technique can exert immunomodulatory effects, and, therefore, they may contribute to ...
