Setup
What is from the generator, to the catheter, through the patient, to the grounding pad and back to the generator.
What is power, time, and contact force.
This is the purpose of catheter irrigation.
These are the most common ablation catheters used in our EP lab.
What is the STSF and QDOT.
This is who Taylor Swift is married to.
Who is Travis Kelce.
Steps to take if the impedance is too high.
1. Making sure the grounding pad is adhered completely.
2. Making sure the grounding pad is positioned properly.
Describe what impedance means.
What is the resistance to electrical flow between the catheter tip and the grounding pad.
This is the concern for char and / or steam pop.
What is clot, stroke or perforation.
Larger electrodes produce ___ signal quality.
What is weaker.
The type of irrigation tip our irrigated contact force catheters have.
What is porous tip.
This is a good place for the grounding pad.
What is the lower back.
What is 50 degrees Celsius.
This is what can happen if the grounding pad is not properly adhered to the patient.
What are skin burns.
These are the two modes for controlling power delivery.
This is who hosted SNL this past weekend.
Who is Jalen Brunson.
This is the baseline impedance we want for RF.
What is 100 to 120 ohms.
The two types of tissue heating.
What is conductive and resistive heating.
This is the temperature at which char and coagulum can form.
What is 75-80 degrees Celsius.
These are the types of catheters we offer.
This is what allows small amount of electrode deflection at the electrode tip.
What is precision spring.
This is what the grounding pad does.
Disperses energy, lowering impedance as the energy leaves the body.
The type of tissue heating that contributes most to lesion size.
What is conductive heating.
What is 100 degrees Celsius.
What is deeper.
This is what STSF stands for.
