endoscopist should evaluate the clinical factors involved and decide on the

specific details of the procedure.

To prevent accidental burns, attention must be paid to the following points.

The patient should not come into contact with grounded metal objects (e.g.,

iron bar of bed, external surface of an appliance).

Patient skin surfaces should not touch each other (e.g., bare arm and chest).

Patient's clothes must be dry.

Patient monitoring electrodes should be placed as far away from the operative

field as possible.

The A-cord or S-P cord should not touch or lay on the patient.

When using lower GI endoscopes, intestinal gas should be replaced with non-

flammable gas (CO

, etc.) before operation.

The operator and assistant should wear rubber handgloves.
