Appendix 8 - Brain Treatment
The brain treatment needs extra care (at least half year
experience of use and a special training at Oncotherm
training clinics are also required).
The main points are:
1. Please use the small or the medium size electrode. At the beginning (if
you have enough place to position it) please use the medium size,
because its energy density is smaller. The high energy density from small
electrode needs more expertise.
2. Put a thin paper towel (Use medical hygienic paper (see detailed
description in Accessories and Appendix 9 for datasheet) – or any
other medical hygienic paper with CE mark - between the bare skin
and the electrodes. Any other material is not allowed to use!) under
the electrode to avoid free-sweating. When free-sweat appears,
please wipe it off to avoid the short circuit of the RF current through the
liquid.
3. Please start with 30-40 W for 30 min without modulation!
4. Increase the power at the second treatment from 40 W to 60 W for40
min gradually
5. From the third treatment you may switch on the modulation too and
treat the patient in the regime from 40 W to 80 W gradually for 60 min
6. Always control the patient (headache, dizziness, epilepsy, etc.) and ask
before the treatment how they were after the last time. In case of
adverse effects, do not increase the dose, till the adverse effects
continue.
7. Please carefully place the electrode: the electrode frame (black
plastic) must not touch the patient’s skin, the electrode must be as far
as possible from the eye.
8. The patient must lay on the water-bed. When placing any normal
pillow under their head, the air in the
pillow will prevent the RF-current to flow,
and all the current will flow through the
neck and shoulder to the waterbed. It
could be OK sometimes (depending on
the place of the tumor) but sometimes it
could be problematic. When you need
more positioning, put a water-filled
pillow (may be a beach pillow filled with
distilled water) under the patient’s head
