Ensure that the patient does not come
into contact with the metal parts that
are earthed or that have an appreciable
capacitance to earth (for example: operating
table supports), in accordance with the
instructions provided by the manufacturer
of the electrosurgical equipment.
Avoid small-area contacts with objects having
a low impedance to earth at high frequencies,
as unwanted burns can result.
