Objective: To analyze scientific evidence on the use of electric scalpel and precaution measures related to the use of this equipment.
Method: An integrative review was developed from April to May 2016, by searching the following databases: PubMed (digital archive created by the
National Library of Medicine), Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde and Google Scholar. The search was conducted by using the following descriptors: bisturi elétrico
and electric scalpel. Results: The search strategy resulted in six studies that covered the following themes: risks associated with the use of electric scalpel,
knowledges of the health team about the use of electric scalpel and nursing role in preventing risks related with electrocoagulation. Conclusion: There is a
need to adopt strategies for improving the knowledge of nurses and nursing assistants in regards to the safety of patients submitted to electrocoagulation.
