Complications arising from surgery continue to be pivotal factors influencing patients' decisions regarding undergoing surgical procedures. One such preventable complication is inadvertent burn injuries during surgery, which may result from various sources including electrosurgery, thermal effects, chemical irritation, and mechanical manipulation of soft tissues. Within the operating room, the surgical team heavily relies on overhead lighting to illuminate the surgical field. Effective surgical lighting facilitates optimal visualization, while substandard lighting can lead to operational challenges and compromise patient safety. Instances of accidental burns have been documented. Moreover, reports of burns resulting from prolonged exposure to traditional surgical lighting, particularly before the adoption of light emitting diode (LED) technology. This webinar will identify patient risks associated with surgical lights and strategies for enhancing patient safety.
