Abstract: An electrosurgical device includes a distal portion having a first electrode extending distally from an elongated shaft, wherein the first electrode is configured to provide a delivered electrical current to a target treatment site within a patient, and wherein the first electrode defines a first irrigation port configured to release a surgical fluid into the target treatment site; and a second electrode extending distally from the elongated shaft, wherein the second electrode is configured to receive a return electrical current from the target treatment site, and wherein the second electrode defines a second irrigation port configured to release the surgical fluid into the target treatment site; wherein the distal portion of the electrosurgical device defines at least one aspiration port configured to proximally aspirate the surgical fluid from the target treatment site.

Abstract: A retrospective learning system is described for recording physiological conditions of a patient over a period of time and storing such data in a database in searchable format. The retrospective learning system includes a database to store a number of searchable records, each searchable record including data representing a physiological condition of a patient over a period of time. The system further includes a module to retrieve the records from the database based on a search query and to replay selected ones of the retrieve records. In one embodiment, at least a portion of the data included in the patient record is in a waveform format suitable for providing a waveform image. The patient record further includes data corresponding to the waveform data converted into a searchable format.
