The final chapter in the book covers some specific electrical devices used in surgery, anaesthesia and critical care. Firstly, we discuss defibrillators where exam candidates are expected to have a good working knowledge and be able to both draw and explain the relevant electrical circuit. Secondly we discuss surgical equipment in LASER and diathermy, both of which carry detail in their different types, risks of harm and safety requirements. Finally the chapter discusses medical ultrasound, how it is generated and used in clinical practice.
