Anyone got the scoop on common grounding practices (either with equipment or with mains grounding) of operating rooms in hospitals here in the US and elsewhere in the world?
Is the philosophy to ground everything or float everything with patient connected equipment? Can anyone point to any technical papers regarding ESD in an operating room? Anyone got any horror stories about ESD in the operating room that can be confirmed? Anything out there about ESD induced events in a patient during surgery or with anesthesia?
