Abstract
The effects of electrocoagulation on the esophagus, stomach and duodenum of mongrel dogs were studied. A commercially available electrocoagulator unit and suction electrode were used. Various dial settings and duration times were used. The total number of sites electrocoagulated was 945. Histologic section of each site was prepared. A dial setting of 7 and duration of 5 s was safe for the canine esophagus and duodenum. For the stomach it is a dial setting of 7 and duration of 3 s. This information will be useful in safe application of electrocoagulation to superficial bleeding lesions in the canine esophagus, stomach and duodenum.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
