Fluid Management in Scopes

Captions available

The idea

Endoscopic procedures such as arthroscopy and cystoscopy circulate fluid, usually saline, to create space and keep the view clear.

In practice

The amount of fluid used is tracked, warmed fluids help prevent hypothermia, and spilled fluid is cleaned up promptly.

Where people slip

Wet floors are a common cause of slips in the operating room.
