[Dampness in an electric plug as a cause of electricity failure in an operation theatre].
Ugeskr Laeger. 2000 Feb 07; 162(6):799-800.UL

Abstract

Two cases of electricity failure in an operation theatre during open heart surgery are discussed. The fuse for the patient monitor, ventilator, surgery instruments and heart lung machine was blown. Short-circuit was established because of humidity in the plug of the heater for fluid and blood. We recommend sealed or founded plugs and that anaesthesia equipment should not be used as an electrical supply for other electronic apparatus.
