Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phacoemulsification probes are not typically considered high risk for ignition sources in surgical fires, as they do not produce sparks, heat, or open flames. Electrosurgical units, fiber-optic light cables, and laser fibers or beams are all known to pose a higher risk for ignition in the surgical environment.
