FLS WRITTEN EXAM 2025 UPDATE WITH QUESTIONS AND
VERIFIED CORRECT ANSWERS ALREADY GRADED A+ (BRAND
NEW VERSION)
what is bipolar rused for? - ANSWER > larger vessels
need a wet operative field
less lateral thermal spread
- not good for capillary vessels
gas embolus - ANSWER > rare but can occur
seen less than 1 percent of the time
diagnose with severe hypotension, JVD, tachycardia, mill wheel
murmur
* need to rule out other sources of hypotension
most common sources of unrecognized bleeding - ANSWER > trocar
injury of abdominal vessels,
, postoperative nausea/vomiting risk factors - ANSWER > female, young,
previous issues, morning sickness, nonsmoker, procedural length,
lower ASA classification, preoperative anxiety, prevention involves
using anti emetics, limiting opioids if possible
what is the most commonly used light source? - ANSWER > 300 W
xenon lamp
what if there is initial low pressure and high flow rate at entry? -
ANSWER > leak in insufflator circuit, make sure everything is plugged
in correctly
what does coagulation mode do? - ANSWER > rapid surface heating
with shallow depth of necrosis, intermittent wave form with higher
voltage
risks of monopolar - ANSWER > current can be diverted through
unintentional pathways, leading to inadvertent tissue injury
- don't use hybrid ports that mix metal with plastic
why do you need a grounding pad for monopolar? - ANSWER >
capacitative coupling - transfer of energy between two conductors
separated by insulator, transfer to passive electrode. can release with
